Job 26:6

Read in context

Job 26:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?

5 The dead tremble— those beneath the waters and those who dwell in them.

6 Sheol is naked before God, and Abaddon has no covering.

7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth upon nothing.

8 He wraps up the waters in His clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their own weight.
