  • 2 “What a help you are to the one without power! How you have saved the arm without strength!
  • 3 “What counsel you have given to one without wisdom! What sound wisdom you have abundantly made known!
  • 4 “To whom have you declared words? And whose breath comes out from you?
  • 5 “The departed spirits tremble Under the waters and their inhabitants.
  • 6 “Naked is Sheol before Him, And Abaddon has no covering.
  • 7 “He stretches out the north over what is formless And hangs the earth on nothing.
  • 8 “He wraps up the waters in His clouds, And the cloud does not break out under them.
  • 9 “He obscures the face of His throne And spreads His cloud over it.
  • 10 “He has marked a circle on the surface of the waters At the boundary of light and darkness.
  • 11 “The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at His rebuke.
  • 12 “He quieted the sea with His power, And by His understanding He crushed Rahab.
  • 13 “By His breath the heavens are made beautiful; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent.
  • 14 “Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how only with a whisper of a word do we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understand?”
