1. Job answered and said,
2. How hast thou helped the one who has no power? Hast thou saved with thy arm the one who has no strength?
3. How hast thou counselled the one that has no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4. To whom hast thou uttered words, and whose is the spirit that comes forth from thee?
5. Dead things are formed under the waters and of its dwelling places.
6. Sheol is naked before him, and hell has no covering.
7. He stretches out the north wind over the empty place and hangs the earth upon nothing.
8. He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9. He holds back the face of his throne and spreads his cloud upon it.
