Job Declares God's Sovereignty

261 Then Job responded e , 2 "What a help you are to the weak ! How you have saved the arm without strength ! 3 "What counsel you have given to one without wisdom ! What helpful insight you have abundantly provided ! 4 "To whom have you uttered words ? And whose spirit was expressed through you?

5 "The departed spirits tremble Under the waters and their inhabitants . 6 "Naked is Sheol before Him, And Abaddon has no covering . 7 "He stretches out the north over empty space And hangs the earth on nothing . 8 "He wraps up the waters in His clouds , And the cloud does not burst under them. 9 "He obscures the face of the full moon And spreads His cloud over it. 10 "He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters At the boundary of light and darkness . 11 "The pillars of heaven tremble And are amazed at His rebuke . 12 "He quieted the sea with His power , And by His understanding He shattered Rahab . 13 "By His breath the heavens are cleared ; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent . 14 "Behold , these are the fringes of His ways ; And how faint a word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder , who can understand ?"
