Job 26:8-14 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. He wraps up water in his clouds. They are heavy, but they don't burst.

9. He covers the face of the full moon. He spreads his clouds over it.

10. He marks out the place where the sky meets the sea. He marks out the boundary between light and darkness.

11. The pillars of the heavens shake. They are terrified when his anger blazes out.

12. With his power he stirred up the oceans. In his wisdom he cut the sea monster Rahab to pieces.

13. His breath made the skies bright and clear. His hand wounded the serpent that glides through the sea.

14. Those are only on the edges of what he does. They are only the soft whispers that we hear from him. So who can understand how very powerful he is?"
