Job Rebukes Bildad
1But Job answered and said,
2“What a help you are to the weak (powerless)!
How you have saved the arm that is without strength!
3“How you have counseled the one who has no wisdom!
And how abundantly you have provided sound wisdom and helpful insight!
4“To whom have you uttered [these] words?
And whose spirit [inspired what] came forth from you?
The Greatness of God
5¶“The spirits of the dead tremble
Underneath the waters and their inhabitants.
6“Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) is naked before God,
And Abaddon (the place of destruction) has no covering [from His eyes].

8“He wraps the waters in His clouds [which otherwise would spill on earth all at once],
And the cloud does not burst under them.

And spreads His cloud over it.
10“He has inscribed a circular limit (the horizon) on the face of the waters
At the boundary between light and darkness.

Job: God is Awesome
1Then Job responded and said:
2“How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm without strength!
3How you have counseled the one without wisdom and revealed your abundant insights!
4To whom have you uttered words? Whose spirit has come from your mouth?
5“The dead tremble— those beneath the water and all that live in them.
6Sheol is naked before Him; Abaddon has no covering.
7He stretches out the north over the void; He suspends the earth over nothing.
8He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under them.
9He covers the face of the full moon, spreading His clouds over it.
10He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters, for a boundary between light and dark.
11The pillars of heaven tremble, astounded at His rebuke!
12By His power He churns up the sea; by His understanding He smashed Rahab.
13By His Ruach the heavens are clear; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14Indeed, these are but glimpses of His ways; how faint the whisper, we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His might?”
