¹ Then Job answered:

² How you have helped ⓐ the powerless and delivered the arm that is weak!

³ How you have counseled the unwise ⓑ and thoroughly explained the path to success!

⁶ Sheol ⓓ is naked before God, and Abaddon ⓔ has no covering. ⓕ

⁷ He stretches the northern skies over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing.

⁸ He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst beneath their weight. ⓖ

⁹ He obscures the view of His throne, spreading His cloud over it.

¹⁰ He laid out the horizon on the surface of the waters ⓗ at the boundary between light and darkness.

¹² By His power He stirred ⓙ the sea, and by His understanding He crushed Rahab. ⓚ

¹³ By His breath the heavens gained their beauty; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. [1] ⓛ

¹⁴ These are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the word we hear of Him! Who can understand His mighty thunder?
