Job Rebukes Bildad

¹ But Job answered and said,

² "What a help you are ^(C1)to the weak (powerless)!
How you have saved the arm that is ^(C2)without strength!

³ "How you have counseled the one who has no wisdom!
And how abundantly you have provided sound wisdom and helpful insight!

⁴ "To whom have you uttered these words?
And whose spirit inspired what came forth from you?

The Greatness of God

⁵ "The ^(C1)spirits of the dead tremble
Underneath the waters and their inhabitants.

⁶ "^(C1)Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) is naked before God,
And ^(C2)Abaddon (the place of destruction) has no covering from His eyes.

⁷ "It is He who ^(C1)spreads out the north over emptiness
And ^(F1)hangs the earth on nothing.

⁸ "He ^(C1)wraps the waters in His clouds which otherwise would spill on earth all at once,
And the cloud does not burst under them.

⁹ "He ^(C1)covers the face of the ^(F1)full moon
And spreads His cloud over it.

¹⁰ "He has inscribed a ^(C1)circular limit (the horizon) on the face of the waters
At the ^(C2)boundary between light and darkness.

¹¹ "The pillars of the heavens tremble
And are terrified at His rebuke.

¹² "He ^(C1)stirred up the sea by His power,
And by His ^(C2)understanding He smashed proud ^(F1)(C3)Rahab.

¹³ "By His breath the ^(C1)heavens are cleared;
His hand has pierced ^(C2)the swiftly fleeing serpent. ^(VR1)

¹⁴ "Yet these are just the fringes of His ways mere samples of His power,
The faintest ^(C1)whisper of His voice!
Who can contemplate the ^(C2)thunder of His full mighty power?"
