New Living Translation | International Standard Version |
1Then Job spoke again: | 1In reply, Job responded: |
2“How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the weak! | 2"What a help you are to the weak! How powerfully you deliver those without strength! |
3How you have enlightened my stupidity! What wise advice you have offered! | 3What counsel you provide to the fool! What insight you provide so abundantly! |
4Where have you gotten all these wise sayings? Whose spirit speaks through you? | 4Who helped you say all of this? Who inspired you?" |
5“The dead tremble— those who live beneath the waters. | 5"The ghosts of the dead writhe under the waters along with those who live there with them. |
6The underworld is naked in God’s presence. The place of destruction is uncovered. | 6Sheol is naked before God and Abaddon has no clothes. |
7God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing. | 7He spreads out the north over empty space, suspending the earth over nothing. |
8He wraps the rain in his thick clouds, and the clouds don’t burst with the weight. | 8"He restricts the waters within clouds and the clouds don't burst open under them. |
9He covers the face of the moon, shrouding it with his clouds. | 9He has enclosed the face of the full moon and spread his clouds over it. |
10He created the horizon when he separated the waters; he set the boundary between day and night. | 10He has delimited a boundary over the surface of the oceans as a limit between light and darkness. |
11The foundations of heaven tremble; they shudder at his rebuke. | 11The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astounded at his rebuke. |
12By his power the sea grew calm. By his skill he crushed the great sea monster. | 12By his power he disturbs the sea; and with his skill he shatters the sea monster. |
13His Spirit made the heavens beautiful, and his power pierced the gliding serpent. | 13he clears the skies with his wind; his hands have pierced the fleeing serpent. |
14These are just the beginning of all that he does, merely a whisper of his power. Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?” | 14Indeed, these are the fringes of his ways, and how faint is the whisper we've heard of it! But who can comprehend the thunder of his might?" |
