But JobH347 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
How hast thou helpedH5826 him that is without powerH3581? how savestH3467 thou the armH2220 that hath noH3808 strengthH5797?
How hast thou counselledH3289 him that hath noH3808 wisdomH2451? and how hast thou plentifullyH7230 declaredH3045 the thing as it isH8454?
To whom hast thou utteredH5046 wordsH4405? and whose spiritH5397 cameH3318 from thee?
DeadH7496 things are formedH2342 from under the watersH4325, and the inhabitantsH7931 thereof. {and the…: or, with the inhabitants}
HellH7585 is nakedH6174 before him, and destructionH11 hath no coveringH3682.
He stretcheth outH5186 the northH6828 over the empty placeH8414, and hangethH8518 the earthH776 upon nothingH1099.
He bindeth upH6887 the watersH4325 in his thick cloudsH5645; and the cloudH6051 is not rentH1234 under them.
He holdeth backH270 the faceH6440 of his throneH3678, and spreadethH6576 his cloudH6051 upon it.
He hath compassedH2328 the watersH6440+H4325 with boundsH2706, until the dayH216 and nightH2822 come to an endH8503. {until…: Heb. until the end of light with darkness}
The pillarsH5982 of heavenH8064 trembleH7322 and are astonishedH8539 at his reproofH1606.
He dividethH7280 the seaH3220 with his powerH3581, and by his understandingH8394+H8394 he smitethH4272 through the proudH7293. {the proud: Heb. pride}
By his spiritH7307 he hath garnishedH8235 the heavensH8064; his handH3027 hath formedH2342 the crookedH1281 serpentH5175.
Lo, these are partsH7098 of his waysH1870: but how littleH8102 a portionH1697 is heardH8085 of him? but the thunderH7482 of his powerH1369 who can understandH995?

Which alone spreadeth outH5186 the heavensH8064, and treadethH1869 upon the wavesH1116 of the seaH3220. {waves: Heb. heights}
And the earthH776 wasH1961 without formH8414, and voidH922; and darknessH2822 was upon the faceH6440 of the deepH8415. And the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 movedH7363 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the watersH4325.
Who coverestH5844 thyself with lightH216 as with a garmentH8008: who stretchest outH5186 the heavensH8064 like a curtainH3407:
Who layeth the beamsH7136 of his chambersH5944 in the watersH4325: who makethH7760 the cloudsH5645 his chariotH7398: who walkethH1980 upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307:
Who makethH6213 his angelsH4397 spiritsH7307; his ministersH8334 a flamingH3857 fireH784:
Who laidH3245 the foundationsH4349 of the earthH776, that it should not be removedH4131 for everH5769+H5703. {Who…: Heb. He hath founded the earth upon her bases}
I was set upH5258 from everlastingH5769, from the beginningH7218, or everH6924 the earthH776 was.
When there were no depthsH8415, I was brought forthH2342; when there were no fountainsH4599 aboundingH3513 with waterH4325.
Before the mountainsH2022 were settledH2883, beforeH6440 the hillsH1389 was I brought forthH2342:
While as yet he had not madeH6213 the earthH776, nor the fieldsH2351, nor the highest partH7218 of the dustH6083 of the worldH8398. {fields: or, open places} {the highest…: or, the chief part}
When he preparedH3559 the heavensH8064, I was there: when he setH2710 a compassH2329 upon the faceH6440 of the depthH8415: {a compass: or, a circle}
It is he that sittethH3427 upon the circleH2329 of the earthH776, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof are as grasshoppersH2284; that stretcheth outH5186 the heavensH8064 as a curtainH1852, and spreadeth them outH4969 as a tentH168 to dwell inH3427: {It is…: or, Him that}
