Job 26:5-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 26
5'The departed spirits are made to tremble Under the waters and their inhabitants. 6 Sheol is naked before Him, And Abaddon has no covering. 7He stretches out the north over empty space And hangs the earth on nothing. 8He wraps up the waters in His clouds, And the cloud does not burst under them. 9He obscures the face of the full moon And spreads His cloud over it. 10He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters At the boundary of light and darkness. 11The pillars of heaven tremble And are amazed at His rebuke. 12With His power He quieted the sea, And by His understanding He shattered Rahab. 13By His breath the heavens are cleared; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent. 14Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint a word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understand?'King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
6Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.
7He stretches the northern skies over empty space; he hangs the earth on nothing.
8He wraps up the water in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst beneath its weight.
9He obscures the view of his throne, spreading his cloud over it.
10He laid out the horizon on the surface of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.
11The pillars that hold up the sky tremble, astounded at his rebuke.
New Living Translation
Chapter 26
5'The dead tremble — those who live beneath the waters. 6The underworld is naked in God’s presence. The place of destruction is uncovered. 7God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing. 8He wraps the rain in his thick clouds, and the clouds don’t burst with the weight. 9He covers the face of the moon, shrouding it with his clouds. 10He created the horizon when he separated the waters; he set the boundary between day and night. 11The foundations of heaven tremble; they shudder at his rebuke. 12By his power the sea grew calm. By his skill he crushed the great sea monster. 13His Spirit made the heavens beautiful, and his power pierced the gliding serpent. 14These are just the beginning of all that he does, merely a whisper of his power. Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?'English Standard Version
Chapter 26
5The dead tremble under the waters and their inhabitants. 6Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering. 7He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing. 8He binds up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not split open under them. 9He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it his cloud. 10He has inscribed a circle on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness. 11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astounded at his rebuke. 12By his power he stilled the sea; by his understanding he shattered Rahab. 13 By his wind the heavens were made fair; his hand pierced the fleeing serpent. 14Behold, these are but the outskirts of his ways, and how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?"New International Version
Chapter 26
5"The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them. 6The realm of the dead is naked before God; Destruction lies uncovered. 7He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing. 8He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight. 9He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it. 10He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness. 11The pillars of the heavens quake, aghast at his rebuke. 12By his power he churned up the sea; by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces. 13By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the gliding serpent. 14And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?"New King James Version
