  • Job’s Ninth Speech: A Response to Bildad

    Then Job spoke again:
  • Job Rebukes Bildad

    Then Job responded,
  • “How you have helped the powerless!
    How you have saved the weak!
  • “What a help you are to the weak!
    How you have saved the arm without strength!
  • How you have enlightened my stupidity!
    What wise advice you have offered!
  • “What counsel you have given to one without wisdom!
    What helpful insight you have abundantly provided!
  • Where have you gotten all these wise sayings?
    Whose spirit speaks through you?
  • “To whom have you uttered words?
    And whose spirit was expressed through you?
  • “The dead tremble —
    those who live beneath the waters.

  • The Greatness of God

    “The departed spirits tremble
    Under the waters and their inhabitants.
  • The underworlda is naked in God’s presence.
    The place of destructionb is uncovered.
  • “Naked is Sheol before Him,
    And Abaddon has no covering.
  • God stretches the northern sky over empty space
    and hangs the earth on nothing.
  • “He stretches out the north over empty space
    And hangs the earth on nothing.
  • He wraps the rain in his thick clouds,
    and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.
  • “He wraps up the waters in His clouds,
    And the cloud does not burst under them.
  • He covers the face of the moon,c
    shrouding it with his clouds.
  • “He obscures the face of the full moon
    And spreads His cloud over it.
  • He created the horizon when he separated the waters;
    he set the boundary between day and night.
  • “He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters
    At the boundary of light and darkness.
  • The foundations of heaven tremble;
    they shudder at his rebuke.
  • “The pillars of heaven tremble
    And are amazed at His rebuke.
  • By his power the sea grew calm.
    By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.d
  • “He quieted the sea with His power,
    And by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
  • His Spirit made the heavens beautiful,
    and his power pierced the gliding serpent.
  • “By His breath the heavens are cleared;
    His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent.
  • These are just the beginning of all that he does,
    merely a whisper of his power.
    Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?”
  • “Behold, these are the fringes of His ways;
    And how faint a word we hear of Him!
    But His mighty thunder, who can understand?”
