2 Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
How hast thou helped [him that is] without power? [how] savest thou the arm [that hath] no strength?
3 Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.
How hast thou counselled [him that hath] no wisdom? and [how] hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.
