Job 26:5-14
World English Bible
5 “The departed spirits tremble,
those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6 Sheol[a] is naked before God,
and Abaddon[b] has no covering.
7 He stretches out the north over empty space,
and hangs the earth on nothing.
8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds,
and the cloud is not burst under them.
9 He encloses the face of his throne,
and spreads his cloud on it.
10 He has described a boundary on the surface of the waters,
and to the confines of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astonished at his rebuke.
12 He stirs up the sea with his power,
and by his understanding he strikes through Rahab.
13 By his Spirit the heavens are garnished.
His hand has pierced the swift serpent.
14 Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways.
How small a whisper do we hear of him!
But the thunder of his power who can understand?”

The Greatness of God
5 “The [a](A)departed spirits are made to tremble
Under the waters and their inhabitants.
6 [b](B)Sheol is naked before Him,
And [c](C)Abaddon has no covering.
7 He (D)stretches out the north over empty space
And hangs the earth on nothing.
8 He (E)wraps up the waters in His clouds,
And the cloud does not burst under them.
9 He [d](F)obscures the face of the [e]full moon
And spreads His cloud over it.
10 He has inscribed a (G)circle on the surface of the waters
At the (H)boundary of light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble
And are amazed at His rebuke.
12 With His power He (I)quieted the sea,
And by His (J)understanding He shattered [f](K)Rahab.
13 By His breath the (L)heavens are [g]cleared;
His hand has pierced (M)the fleeing serpent.
14 Behold, these are the fringes of His ways;
And how faint (N)a word we hear of Him!
But His mighty (O)thunder, who can understand?”
