1.3 KiB
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?"
