2. “How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the arm that is feeble!
3. What advice you have offered to one without wisdom! And what great insight you have displayed!
4. Who has helped you utter these words? And whose spirit spoke from your mouth?
5. “The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6. The realm of the dead is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered.
7. He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.
