\v 1 Job replied to Bildad:
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 "I am a very weak and helpless man;
|
|
\q2 you do not really think that you have helped me at all, do you?
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 You certainly do not think that you have given me good advice, do you?—me, who am not wise at all.
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Who helped you to say all those great things?
|
|
\q2 Who inspired you to speak like you did?
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 The spirits of dead people tremble with fear,
|
|
\q2 those who are under the waters
|
|
\q1 and everyone who dwells with them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 God knows all about those who are in the place of the dead;
|
|
\q2 there is nothing down there that prevents God from seeing what is there.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 God stretches out heaven
|
|
\q1 over the empty spaces,
|
|
\q2 and he places the earth in that huge empty space, but it is not resting on anything.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 He fills the thick clouds with water
|
|
\q2 and prevents that water from bursting the clouds.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 He causes clouds to obscure the moon.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 He separates the light from the darkness
|
|
\q2 and puts the horizon to mark the place where the night ends and the daytime begins.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 When he is angry, it is as though he rebuked the pillars that hold up the sky.
|
|
\q2 They are shocked, and they tremble.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 By his power he calmed the sea;
|
|
\q2 by his skill he destroyed Rahab, the huge sea monster.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 By his breath he caused the sky to be bright;
|
|
\q2 by his hand he killed the great dragon in the sea as it was fleeing from him.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 But those events show only a small amount of his power;
|
|
\q2 it is as though we were hearing only whispers of his powerful voice.
|
|
\q2 When we hear thunder, we say, 'Who can really understand how great his power is?'"
