3 AKJV How have you counceled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is? BSB BSB: How you have counseled the unwise and provided fully sound insight!
4 AKJV To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you? BSB BSB: To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?
5 AKJV Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof. BSB BSB: The dead tremble—those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.

7 AKJV He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth on nothing. BSB BSB: He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 AKJV He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. BSB BSB: He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
9 AKJV He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it. BSB BSB: He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.

11 AKJV The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. BSB BSB: The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.
12 AKJV He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smites through the proud. BSB BSB: By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
13 AKJV By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent. BSB BSB: By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
14 AKJV See, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand? BSB BSB: Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”
