Job 26:6-14

6Naked is 12Sheol before Him, And 34Abaddon has no covering.7He 5stretches out the north over empty space And hangs the earth on nothing.8He 6wraps up the waters in His clouds, And the cloud does not burst under them.9He 78obscures the face of the 9full moon And spreads His cloud over it.10He has inscribed a 10circle on the surface of the waters At the 11boundary of light and darkness.11The pillars of heaven tremble And are amazed at His rebuke.12He 12quieted the sea with His power, And by His 13understanding He shattered 14Rahab.13By His breath the 15heavens are 16cleared; His hand has pierced 17the fleeing serpent.14Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint 18a word we hear of Him! But His mighty 19thunder, who can understand?”
