1. But Job answered and said,
2. How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
3. How have you counseled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4. To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
5. Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6. Sheol is naked before him, and destruction has no covering.
7. He stretches out the north 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 torn under them.
9. He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud upon it.
