He stretches out the north over the empty place, and He hung the earth on nothing.

By His Spirit the heavens were beautiful; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

Hell is naked before Him, and the Pit has no covering.

He has described a circle on the surface of the waters to the boundary of light with darkness.

The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.

He binds up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not torn under them.

How have you helped the powerless, or saved the arm that has no strength?

To whom have you spoken words? And whose spirit came from you?

How have you advised those not wise, or fully declared wise plans?
