Job 26:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 26:7

5 “The dead tremble,
Those under the waters and those inhabiting them.

6 ^aSheol is naked before Him,
And Destruction has no covering.

7 ^aHe stretches out the north over empty space;
He hangs the earth on nothing.

8 ^aHe binds up the water in His thick clouds,
Yet the clouds¹ are not broken under it.

9 He covers the face of His throne,
And spreads His cloud over it.

10 ^aHe drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters,
At the boundary of light and darkness.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble,
And are¹ astonished at His rebuke.

12 ^aHe stirs up the sea with His power,
And by His understanding He breaks up¹ the storm.

13 ^aBy His Spirit He adorned the heavens;
His hand pierced ^bthe fleeing serpent.

14 Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways,
And how small a whisper we hear of Him!
But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
