Job 26:7-14
New International Version
Job 26:7-14
New International Version
7 He spreads out the northern skies(A) over empty space;
he suspends the earth over nothing.(B)
8 He wraps up the waters(C) in his clouds,(D)
yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
9 He covers the face of the full moon,
spreading his clouds(E) over it.
10 He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters(F)
for a boundary between light and darkness.(G)
11 The pillars of the heavens quake,(H)
aghast at his rebuke.
12 By his power he churned up the sea;(I)
by his wisdom(J) he cut Rahab(K) to pieces.
13 By his breath the skies(L) became fair;
his hand pierced the gliding serpent.(M)
14 And these are but the outer fringe of his works;
how faint the whisper(N) we hear of him!(O)
Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”(P)
Job 26:7-14
King James Version
Job 26:7-14
King James Version
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 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?

Ecclesiastes 1:13-17
New International Version
Ecclesiastes 1:13-17
New International Version
13 I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens.(A) What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind!(B) 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.(C)
15 What is crooked cannot be straightened;(D)
what is lacking cannot be counted.
16 I said to myself, “Look, I have increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me;(E) I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge.” 17 Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom,(F) and also of madness and folly,(G) but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 1:13-17
King James Version
Ecclesiastes 1:13-17
King James Version
13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
