Job 26:5-14
English Standard Version
5 The (A)dead tremble
under the waters and their inhabitants.
6 Sheol is (B)naked before God,[a]
and (C)Abaddon has no covering.
7 He (D)stretches out the north over (E)the void
and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 He (F)binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
and the cloud is not split open under them.
9 He covers the face of the full moon[b]
and (G)spreads over it his cloud.
10 He has inscribed (H)a circle on the face of the waters
at the boundary between light and darkness.
11 (I)The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astounded at his (J)rebuke.
12 By his power he (K)stilled the sea;
by his understanding he shattered (L)Rahab.
13 (M)By his wind the heavens were made fair;
his hand pierced (N)the fleeing serpent.
14 Behold, these are but the outskirts of his (O)ways,
and how small (P)a whisper do we hear of him!
But the thunder of his power who can understand?”
Job 26:5-14
Common English Bible
Truth about God
5 The dead writhe,
the inhabitants beneath the waters as well.
6 The grave[a] is naked before God;
the underworld[b] lacks covering.
7 He stretched the North[c] over chaos,
hung earth over nothing;
8 wrapped up water in his clouds,
yet they didn’t burst out below;
9 hid the face of the full moon,[d]
spreading his cloud over it;
10 traced a circle on the water’s surface,
at the limit of light and darkness.
11 Heaven’s pillars shook,
terrified by his blast.
12 By his power he stilled the Sea;
split Rahab with his cleverness.
13 Due to his wind, heaven became clear;
his hand split the fleeing serpent.
14 Look, these are only the outer fringe of his ways;
we hear only a whispered word about him.
Who can understand his thunderous power?
