Job’s Reply to Bildad
1Then Job answered:
2How you have helped#Jb 4:3; Is 35:3; Heb 12:12 the powerless
and delivered the arm that is weak!
3How you have counseled the unwise#Jb 11:6; Ps 73:24; Jms 1:5
and abundantly provided insight!
4With whom did you speak these words?
Whose breath came out of your mouth?
5The departed spirits tremble
beneath the waters and all that inhabit them.#Ps 88:10; Is 26:14,19; Rv 20:13
6Sheol#Ps 30:3,9; Pr 1:12; Is 5:14 is naked before God,
and Abaddon#Jb 28:22; Pr 27:20; Rv 9:11 has no covering.#Ps 139:8; Pr 15:11; Heb 4:13
7He stretches the northern skies over empty space;
he hangs the earth on nothing.
8He wraps up the water in his clouds,
yet the clouds do not burst beneath its weight.#Jb 37:11; 38:9; Pr 30:4
9He obscures the view of his throne,
spreading his cloud over it.
10He laid out the horizon on the surface of the waters#Ps 104:9; Pr 8:27,29; Jr 5:22
at the boundary between light and darkness.
11The pillars that hold up the sky tremble,
astounded at his rebuke.#2Sm 22:16; Ps 18:15; 104:7
12By his power he stirred#Is 51:15; Jr 31:35 the sea,
and by his understanding he crushed Rahab.#Jb 9:13; Ps 89:10; Is 51:9
13By his breath the heavens gained their beauty;
his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.#26:13 = Leviathan#Jb 41; Ps 33:6; Is 27:1
14These are but the fringes of his ways;
how faint is the word we hear of him!
Who can understand his mighty thunder?

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?”
