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 abundantly provided insight!

⁴ With whom did you speak these words? Whose breath came out of your mouth?

⁵ The departed spirits tremble beneath the waters and all that inhabit them. ⓒ

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 water in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst beneath its 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.

¹¹ The pillars that hold up the sky tremble, astounded at his rebuke. ⓘ

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?
