Job 26:5-14
Lexham English Bible
5 “The spirits of the dead tremble
below the waters and their inhabitants.
6 Sheol is naked before him,
and there is no covering for Abaddon.
7 He stretches out the north over emptiness;
he hangs the earth over nothing.[a]
8 He ties up the water in its clouds,
and the cloud is not torn open beneath it.[b]
9 He covers the face of the full moon;[c]
he spreads his cloud over it.
10 He has described a circle[d] on the face of the water
between light and darkness.[e]
11 “The pillars of heaven tremble,
and they are astounded at his rebuke.
12 By his power he stilled the sea,
and by his understanding he struck down Rahab.
13 By his breath the heavens were made clear;[f]
his hand pierced the fleeing snake.
14 Look, these are the outer fringes of his ways,
and how faint is the word[g] that we hear of him!
But[h] who can understand the thunder of his power?”

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?”
