Job 26:7-14 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
7
He spreads out the northern [skies]1 over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing.2
8
He wraps up the waters3 in his clouds,4 yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
9
He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds5 over it.
10
He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters6 for a boundary between light and darkness.7
11
The pillars of the heavens quake,8 aghast at his rebuke.
12
By his power he churned up the sea;9 by his wisdom10 he cut Rahab11 to pieces.
13
By his breath the skies12 became fair; his hand pierced the gliding serpent.13
14
And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper14 we hear of him!15 Who then can understand the thunder of his power?"16
