Job 26:8
Compare all
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.

Job 26:8

He bindeth up the waters - Drives the aqueous particles together, which were raised by evaporation, so that, being condensed, they form clouds which float in the atmosphere, till, meeting with strong currents of wind, or by the agency of the electric fluid, they are farther condensed; and then, becoming too heavy to be sustained in the air, fall down in the form of rain, when, in this poetic language, the cloud is rent under them.
