1. Then Job answered and said:
2. “How you have helped him who has no power!How you have saved the arm that has no strength!
3. How you have counseled him who has no wisdom,and plentifully declared sound knowledge!
4. With whose help have you uttered words,and whose breath has come out from you?
5. The dead trembleunder the waters and their inhabitants.
6. Sheol is naked before God,and Abaddon has no covering.
7. He stretches out the north over the voidand hangs the earth on nothing.
8. He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,and the cloud is not split open under them.
