Job 26:5-14

Common English Bible

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?
