²“无能力的，你怎样帮助他，膀臂无力的，你怎样拯救他！

³What — thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.

³无智慧的，你怎样教导他，显明你丰盛的智慧！

⁴With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came forth from thee?

⁴你靠谁发言呢？谁的灵从你而出呢？

¹³By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His hand the fleeing serpent.
