[7] He stretches out the north over empty space And hangs the earth on nothing.
[8] He wraps up the waters in His clouds, And the cloud does not burst under them.

[10] He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters At the boundary of light and darkness.
[11] The pillars of heaven tremble And are amazed at His rebuke.
[12] He quieted the sea with His power, And by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
[13] By His breath the heavens are cleared; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent.
[14] Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint a word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understand?”
