Job Declares God's Sovereignty
1But Job answered and said,
2How hast thou helped him that is without power?
How savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3How hast thou counseled him that hath no wisdom?
And how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4To whom hast thou uttered words?
And whose spirit came from thee?
5Dead things are formed from under the waters,
and the inhabitants thereof.
6Hell#26.6 Hell, Hebrew Sheol. is naked before him,
and destruction hath no covering.
7He stretcheth out the north over the empty place,
and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds;
and the cloud is not rent under them.
9He holdeth back the face of his throne,
and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10He hath compassed the waters with bounds,
until the day and night come to an end.
11The pillars of heaven tremble,
and are astonished at his reproof.
12He divideth the sea with his power,
and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13By his Spirit he hath garnished the heavens;
his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14Lo, these are parts of his ways;
but how little a portion is heard of him?
But the thunder of his power who can understand?

Job Answers Bildad
1Then Job answered:
2“You are no help to the helpless!
You have not aided the weak!
3Your advice lacks wisdom!
You have shown little understanding!
4Who has helped you say these words?
And where did you get these ideas?
5“The spirits of the dead tremble,
those who are beneath and in the waters.
6Death is naked before God;
destruction is uncovered before him.
7God stretches the northern sky out over empty space
and hangs the earth on nothing.
8He wraps up the waters in his thick clouds,
but the clouds do not break under their weight.
9He covers the face of the moon,
spreading his clouds over it.
10He draws the horizon like a circle on the water
at the place where light and darkness meet.
11Heaven’s foundations shake
when he thunders at them.
12With his power he quiets the sea;
by his wisdom he destroys Rahab, the sea monster.
13He breathes, and the sky clears.
His hand stabs the fleeing snake.
14And these are only a small part of God’s works.
We only hear a small whisper of him.
Who could understand God’s thundering power?”
