He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.

By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.

Sheol is naked before God , And Abaddon hath no covering.

He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness.

They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.

He stirreth up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.

Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways: And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?

The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke.

He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; And the cloud is not rent under them.

How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!

Then Job answered and said,

He incloseth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it.

To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?

How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, And plentifully declared sound knowledge!
