Job 26:2
1 But Job answered and said,
How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
