* But Job answered and said , * How hast thou helped him that is without power ? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength ? * How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom ? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is ? * To whom hast thou uttered words ? and whose spirit came from thee ? * Dead things are formed from under the waters , and the inhabitants thereof . * Hell is naked before him , and destruction hath no covering . * He stretcheth out the north over the empty place , and hangeth the earth upon nothing . * He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds ; and the cloud is not rent under them . * He holdeth back the face of his throne , and spreadeth his cloud upon it . * He hath compassed the waters with bounds , until the day and night come to an end . * The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof . * He divideth the sea with his power , and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud . * By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens ; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent . * Lo , these are parts of his ways : but how little a portion is heard of him ? but the thunder of his power who can understand ? * Moreover Job continued his parable , and said , * As God liveth , who hath taken away my judgment ; and the Almighty , who hath vexed my soul ; * All the while my breath is in me , and the spirit of God is in my nostrils ; * My lips shall not speak wickedness , nor my tongue utter deceit . * God forbid that I should justify you : till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me . * My righteousness I hold fast , and will not let it go : my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live . * Let mine enemy be as the wicked , and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous . * For what is the hope of the hypocrite , though he hath gained , when God taketh away his soul ? * Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him ? * Will he delight himself in the Almighty ? will he always call upon God ? * I will teach you by the hand of God : that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal . * Behold , all ye yourselves have seen it ; why then are ye thus altogether vain ? * This is the portion of a wicked man with God , and the heritage of oppressors , which they shall receive of the Almighty . * If his children be multiplied , it is for the sword : and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread . * Those that remain of him shall be buried in death : and his widows shall not weep . * Though he heap up silver as the dust , and prepare raiment as the clay ; * He may prepare it , but the just shall put it on , and the innocent shall divide the silver . * He buildeth his house as a moth , and as a booth that the keeper maketh . * The rich man shall lie down , but he shall not be gathered : he openeth his eyes , and he is not . * Terrors take hold on him as waters , a tempest stealeth him away in the night . * The east wind carrieth him away , and he departeth : and as a storm hurleth him out of his place . * For God shall cast upon him , and not spare : he would fain flee out of his hand . * Men shall clap their hands at him , and shall hiss him out of his place . * Surely there is a vein for the silver , and a place for gold where they fine it .
