Job: The weakness of man and the majesty of God

1
And Job answers and says:
2
How you have helped the powerless, || Saved an arm not strong!
3
How you have given counsel to the unwise, || And made known wise plans in abundance.
4
With whom have you declared words? And whose breath came forth from you?
5
The Rephaim are formed, || Also their inhabitants beneath the waters.
6
Sheol [is] naked before Him, || And there is no covering to destruction.
7
Stretching out the north over desolation, || Hanging the earth on nothing,
8
Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, || And the cloud is not burst under them.
9
Taking hold of the face of the throne, || Spreading His cloud over it.
10
He has placed a limit on the waters, || To the boundary of light with darkness.
11
Pillars of the heavens tremble, || And they wonder because of His rebuke.
12
By His power He has quieted the sea, || And by His understanding struck the proud.
13
He beautified the heavens by His Spirit, || His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14
Behold, these [are] the borders of His way, and how little a matter is heard of Him, and who understands the thunder of His might?”
