Job 26:5-13
5“The 12departed spirits tremble Under the waters and their inhabitants.6Naked is 34Sheol before Him, And 56Abaddon has no covering.7He 7stretches out the north over empty space And hangs the earth on nothing.8He 8wraps up the waters in His clouds, And the cloud does not burst under them.9He 910obscures the face of the 11full moon And spreads His cloud over it.10He has inscribed a 12circle on the surface of the waters At the 13boundary of light and darkness.11The pillars of heaven tremble And are amazed at His rebuke.12He 14quieted the sea with His power, And by His 15understanding He shattered 16Rahab.13By His breath the 17heavens are 18cleared; His hand has pierced 19the fleeing serpent.
