Job 26:5-14
Authorized (King James) Version
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters,
and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Hell is naked before him,
and destruction hath no covering.
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?
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?
