By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 26 of Job. Job responds ironically and then offers a majestic description of God’s creative power. He speaks of the realms of the dead, clouds, horizon, and forces of the sea. The passage ends by acknowledging that all this represents only a portion of God’s works. God’s greatness is affirmed without being used to silence the mystery.

Am Himmel wird's schön durch seinen Wind, und seine Hand durchbohrt die flüchtige Schlange.
Su espíritu adornó los cielos; Su mano crió la serpiente tortuosa.
Con su aliento despeja los cielos; su mano atraviesa a la serpiente fugitiva.
Son souffle donne au ciel la sérénité, Sa main transperce le serpent fuyard.
Egli ha col suo Spirito adorni i cieli; La sua mano ha formato il serpente guizzante.
Pelo seu Espírito ornou os céus; a sua mão formou a serpente enroscadiça.
他藉自己的靈使天空晴朗; 他的手刺殺爬得快的蛇。
