Job speaks sharp words to Bildad

Then Job made answer and said, But Job answered and said,
How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength! How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge! How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you? To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

Job acknowledges the power of God

The shades in the underworld are shaking; the waters and those living in them. Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil. Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
By his hand the north is stretched out in space, and the earth is hanging on nothing. He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them. He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it. He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark. He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words. The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded. He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through. By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge. 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?
