Job Replies: God’s Majesty Is Unsearchable
1But Job answered:
2“How have you helped him who is without power?
How have you saved the arm that has no strength?
3How have you counseled him who has no wisdom?
And how have you plentifully declared sound knowledge?
4To whom have you uttered words?
And whose breath came from you?
5“The departed spirits # Ge 6:4; Ps 88:10; Isa 14:9; 26:14 tremble under the waters,
and their inhabitants.
6The underworld is naked before Him, # Ps 139:8
and destruction has no covering. # Pr 15:11
7He stretches out the north over empty space, # Job 9:8
He hangs the earth upon nothing. # Ge 1:1–2
8He binds up the waters in His thick clouds, # Pr 30:4
and the cloud is not broken under them.
9He covers the face of the full moon
and spreads His cloud over it. # Ps 97:2
10He has circled the waters with boundaries, # Job 38:8–11; Pr 8:29
until the day and night come to an end.
11The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astonished at His reproof.
12He divides the sea with His power, # Isa 51:15; Jer 31:35
and by His understanding He strikes through the proud.
13By His breath He has made fair the heavens; # Ge 1:2
His hand has formed the fleeing serpent. # Isa 27:1
14Indeed, these are but a part of His ways,
and how small a whisper we hear of Him!
But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
