2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
2 "What a help you are to the weak! How powerfully you deliver those without strength!
3 How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
3 “What counsel you have given to one without wisdom!What helpful insight you have abundantly (c)provided!

14 See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
14 “Behold, these are the fringes of His ways;And how faint (P)a word we hear of Him!But His mighty (Q)thunder, who can understand?”
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
14 These are but the fringes of His ways;how faint is the word we hear of Him!Who can understand His mighty thunder?
14 Indeed, these are the fringes of his ways, and how faint is the whisper we've heard of it! But who can comprehend the thunder of his might?"
