• Job: Man’s Frailty and God’s Majesty

  • 1 But Job answered and said:
  • 2 “How have you helped him who is without power? How have you saved the arm that has no strength?
  • 3 How have you counseled one who has no wisdom? And how have you declared sound advice to many?
  • 4 To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit came from you?
  • 5 “The dead tremble, Those under the waters and those inhabiting them.
  • 6 Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no covering.
  • 7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing.
  • 8 He binds up the water in His thick clouds, Yet the clouds are not broken under it.
  • 9 He covers the face of His throne, And spreads His cloud over it.
  • 10 He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, At the boundary of light and darkness.
  • 11 The pillars of heaven tremble, And are astonished at His rebuke.
  • 12 He stirs up the sea with His power, And by His understanding He breaks up the storm.
  • 13 By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
  • 14 Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways, And how small a whisper we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
