Job 26:5-14
Modern English Version
5 “The departed spirits tremble under the waters,
and their inhabitants.
6 The underworld is naked before Him,
and destruction has no covering.
7 He stretches out the north over empty space,
He hangs the earth upon nothing.
8 He binds up the waters in His thick clouds,
and the cloud is not broken under them.
9 He covers the face of the full moon
and spreads His cloud over it.
10 He has circled the waters with boundaries,
until the day and night come to an end.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astonished at His reproof.
12 He divides the sea with His power,
and by His understanding He strikes through the proud.
13 By His breath He has made fair the heavens;
His hand has formed the fleeing serpent.
14 Indeed, these are but a part of His ways,
and how small a whisper we hear of Him!
But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
Job 26:5-14
American Standard Version
5 [a]They that are deceased tremble
Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Sheol is naked before [b]God,
And [c]Abaddon hath no covering.
7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space,
And hangeth the earth [d]upon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds;
And the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He incloseth the face of his throne,
And spreadeth his cloud upon it.
10 He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters,
Unto the confines of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble
And are astonished at his rebuke.
12 He [e]stirreth up the sea with his power,
And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are [f]garnished;
His hand hath pierced the [g]swift serpent.
14 Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways:
And [h]how small a whisper [i]do we hear of him!
But the thunder of his [j]power who can understand?
