1. Then Job answered:
2. “You are no help to a person who has no strength!You have given no help to one whose arm is weak!
3. You have given advice to me as if I had no wisdom!This is not great wisdom you have shown!
4. Who has helped you say these words?And where did you get these words you speak?
5. “The spirits of the dead beneath the waters shake.And so do those that live in the waters.
6. Death is naked before God.Destruction is uncovered before him.
7. God stretches the northern sky out over empty space.And he hangs the earth on nothing.
8. God wraps up the waters in his thick clouds.But the clouds do not break under the weight of the water.
9. God covers the face of the full moon.He spreads his clouds over it.
