New International Version NIV
1 Job answered and said,
1
Then Job replied:
2 How hast thou helped the one who has no power? Hast thou saved with thy arm the one who has no strength?
2
“How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm that is feeble!
3 How hast thou counselled the one that has no wisdom? and <em>how</em> hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
3
What advice you have offered to one without wisdom! And what great insight you have displayed!
4 To whom hast thou uttered words, and whose is the spirit that comes forth from thee?
4
Who has helped you utter these words? And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?
5 Dead <em>things</em> are formed under the waters and of its dwelling places.
5
“The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 Sheol <em>is</em> naked before him, and hell has no covering.
6
The realm of the dead is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered.
7 He stretches out the north wind over the empty place <em>and</em> hangs the earth upon nothing.
7
He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
8
He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
9 He holds back the face of his throne <em>and</em> spreads his cloud upon it.
9
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it.
10 He has compassed the waters with bounds until the end of light and darkness.
10
He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
11
The pillars of the heavens quake, aghast at his rebuke.
12 He divides the sea with his power, and by his intelligence he smites its pride.
12
By his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.
13 By his spirit he has adorned the heavens; his hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
13
By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the gliding serpent.
14 Behold, these <em>are</em> parts of his ways; but how little a portion have we heard of him? For the thunder of his power, who shall understand?
14
And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”
