1And Job answered and said,

1And Job answereth and saith: --

2How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!

2What--thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not strong!

3How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!

3What--thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.

4For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

4With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?

5The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;

5The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their inhabitants.

6Sheol is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

6Naked <FI>is<Fi> Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering to destruction.

7He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;

7Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth upon nothing,

8He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.

8Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.

9He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.

9Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it His cloud.

10He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.

10A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of light with darkness.

11The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.

11Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because of His rebuke.

12He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.

12By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His understanding smitten the proud.

13By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent.

13By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.

14Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?

14Lo, these <FI>are<Fi> the borders of His way, And how little a matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth understand?
