2“What a help you are to [270]the weak! You have saved the arm without strength!
3What advice you have given to one without wisdom! What helpful insight you have abundantly [271]provided!
4To whom have you uttered words? And whose [272]spirit was expressed through you?
The Greatness of God
5“The [273]departed spirits are made to tremble Under the waters and their inhabitants.
6[274]Sheol is naked before Him, And [275]Abaddon has no covering.
7He stretches out the north over empty space And hangs the earth on nothing.
8He wraps up the waters in His clouds, And the cloud does not burst under them.
9He [276]obscures the face of the [277]full moon And spreads His cloud over it.
10He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters At the boundary of light and darkness.
11The pillars of heaven tremble And are amazed at His rebuke.
12With His power He quieted the sea, And by His understanding He shattered [278]Rahab.
13By His breath the heavens are [279]cleared; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent.
14Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint a word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understand?”
