New English Translation
Job 26:5-13
51“The dead tremble – those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
6The underworld is naked before God; the place of destruction lies uncovered.
7He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth on nothing.
8He locks the waters in his clouds, and the clouds do not burst with the weight of them.
9He conceals the face of the full moon, shrouding it with his clouds.
10He marks out the horizon on the surface of the waters as a boundary between light and darkness.
11The pillars of the heavens tremble and are amazed at his rebuke.
12By his power he stills the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab the great sea monster to pieces.
13By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
Notes
- 1. Job 26:5 This is the section, Job 26:5-14, that many conclude makes better sense coming from the friend. But if it is attributed to Job, then he is showing he can surpass them in his treatise of the greatness of God. ↩
