² “What a help you are to ^[a](A)the weak!
You have saved the arm ^(B)without strength!
³ What advice you have given to one without wisdom!
What helpful insight you have abundantly ^[b]provided!
⁴ To whom have you uttered words?
And whose ^[c]spirit was expressed through you?

⁵ “The ^[d](C)departed spirits are made to tremble
Under the waters and their inhabitants.
^6 [e](D)Sheol is naked before Him,
And ^[f](E)Abaddon has no covering.
⁷ He ^(F)stretches out the north over empty space
And hangs the earth on nothing.
⁸ He ^(G)wraps up the waters in His clouds,
And the cloud does not burst under them.
⁹ He ^[g](H)obscures the face of the ^[h]full moon
And spreads His cloud over it.
¹⁰ He has inscribed a ^(I)circle on the surface of the waters
At the ^(J)boundary of light and darkness.
¹¹ The pillars of heaven tremble
And are amazed at His rebuke.
¹² With His power He ^(K)quieted the sea,
And by His ^(L)understanding He shattered ^[i](M)Rahab.
¹³ By His breath the ^(N)heavens are ^[j]cleared;
His hand has pierced ^(O)the fleeing serpent.
¹⁴ Behold, these are the fringes of His ways;
And how faint ^(P)a word we hear of Him!
But His mighty ^(Q)thunder, who can understand?”
