  • Job’s Ninth Speech: A Response to Bildad

    Then Job spoke again:
  • Job: Man’s Frailty and God’s Majesty

    But Job answered and said:
  • “How you have helped the powerless!
    How you have saved the weak!
  • “How have you helped him who is without power?
    How have you saved the arm that has no strength?
  • How you have enlightened my stupidity!
    What wise advice you have offered!
  • How have you counseled one who has no wisdom?
    And how have you declared sound advice to many?
  • Where have you gotten all these wise sayings?
    Whose spirit speaks through you?
  • To whom have you uttered words?
    And whose spirit came from you?
  • “The dead tremble —
    those who live beneath the waters.
  • “The dead tremble,
    Those under the waters and those inhabiting them.
  • The underworlda is naked in God’s presence.
    The place of destructionb is uncovered.
  • Sheol is naked before Him,
    And Destruction 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;
    He hangs the earth on nothing.
  • He wraps the rain in his thick clouds,
    and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.
  • He binds up the water in His thick clouds,
    Yet the clouds [a]are not broken under it.
  • He covers the face of the moon,c
    shrouding it with his clouds.
  • He covers the face of His throne,
    And spreads His cloud over it.
  • He created the horizon when he separated the waters;
    he set the boundary between day and night.
  • He drew a circular horizon on the face 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 [b]astonished at His rebuke.
  • By his power the sea grew calm.
    By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.d
  • He stirs up the sea with His power,
    And by His understanding He breaks up [c]the storm.
  • His Spirit made the heavens beautiful,
    and his power pierced the gliding serpent.
  • By His Spirit He adorned the heavens;
    His hand 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?”
  • Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways,
    And how small a whisper we hear of Him!
    But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
