## Who Can Understand God? ###### 1 Then Job answered and said, ###### 2 "What a help you are to the one without power! How you have saved the arm without strength! ###### 3 What counsel you have given to _one_ without wisdom! What sound wisdom you have abundantly made known! ###### 4 To whom have you declared words? And whose breath comes out from you? ###### 5 "The departed spirits tremble Under the waters and their inhabitants. ###### 6 Naked is Sheol before Him, And Abaddon has no covering. ###### 7 He stretches out the north over what is formless And hangs the earth on nothing. ###### 8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds, And the cloud does not break out under them. ###### 9 He obscures the face of _His_ throne And spreads His cloud over it. ###### 10 He has marked a circle on the surface of the waters At the boundary of light and darkness. ###### 11 The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at His rebuke. ###### 12 He quieted the sea with His power, And by His understanding He crushed Rahab. ###### 13 By His breath the heavens are _made_ beautiful; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent. ###### 14 Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how _only with_ a whisper of a word do we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understand?"
