1Job answered, and said:
2O how helpest thou the weak? what comfort givest thou unto him that hath no strength?
3Where is the counsel that thou shouldest give him, which hath no wisdom? Wilt thou so shew thine excellent righteousness?
4Before whom hast thou spoken those words? Who made the breath to come out of the mouth:
5The giants and worthies that are slain, and lie under the world with their companions:
6yea and all they which dwell beneath in the hell are not hid from him, and the very destruction it self can not be kept out of his sight.
7He stretcheth out the north over the empty, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8He bindeth the water in his clouds, that they fall not down together.
9He holdeth back his stole, that it can not be seen, and spreadeth his clouds before it.
10He hath compassed the waters with certain bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11The very pillars of heaven tremble and quake at his reproof.
12He filleth the sea with his power, and thorow his wisdom hath he set forth the world.
13With his spirit hath he garnished the heavens, and with his hand hath he wounded the rebellious serpent.
14This is now a short sum of his doings. But who is able sufficiently to rehearse his works? Who can perceive and understand the thunder of his power.
