Job 26:6–14

⁶Sheol is naked before God,

and Abaddon^a has no covering.

⁷He stretches out the north over empty space;

He hangs the earth upon nothing.

⁸He wraps up the waters in His clouds,

yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.

⁹He covers the face of the full moon,^b

spreading over it His cloud.

¹⁰He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters

at the boundary between light and darkness.

¹¹The foundations of heaven quake,

astounded at His rebuke.

¹²By His power He stirred^c the sea;

by His understanding He shattered Rahab.

¹³By His breath the skies were cleared;

His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.^d

¹⁴Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways;

how faint is the whisper we hear of Him!

Who then can understand

the thunder of His power?”
