Job 26:5-14
New Living Translation
5 “The dead tremble—
those who live beneath the waters.
6 The underworld[a] is naked in God’s presence.
The place of destruction[b] is uncovered.
7 God stretches the northern sky over empty space
and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 He wraps the rain in his thick clouds,
and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.
9 He covers the face of the moon,[c]
shrouding it with his clouds.
10 He created the horizon when he separated the waters;
he set the boundary between day and night.
11 The foundations of heaven tremble;
they shudder at his rebuke.
12 By his power the sea grew calm.
By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.[d]
13 His Spirit made the heavens beautiful,
and his power pierced the gliding serpent.
14 These are just the beginning of all that he does,
merely a whisper of his power.
Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?”
Job 26:5-14
New International Version
5 “The dead are in deep anguish,(A)
those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 The realm of the dead(B) is naked before God;
Destruction[a](C) lies uncovered.(D)
7 He spreads out the northern skies(E) over empty space;
he suspends the earth over nothing.(F)
8 He wraps up the waters(G) in his clouds,(H)
yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
9 He covers the face of the full moon,
spreading his clouds(I) over it.
10 He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters(J)
for a boundary between light and darkness.(K)
11 The pillars of the heavens quake,(L)
aghast at his rebuke.
12 By his power he churned up the sea;(M)
by his wisdom(N) he cut Rahab(O) to pieces.
13 By his breath the skies(P) became fair;
his hand pierced the gliding serpent.(Q)
14 And these are but the outer fringe of his works;
how faint the whisper(R) we hear of him!(S)
Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”(T)
