    he seals off the light of the stars.(F)
He alone stretches out the heavens(G)
    and treads on the waves of the sea.(H)

    miracles that cannot be counted.(L)

  1. Job 9:9 Or of Leo

The realm of the dead(A) is naked before God;
    Destruction[a](B) lies uncovered.(C)
He spreads out the northern skies(D) over empty space;
    he suspends the earth over nothing.(E)
He wraps up the waters(F) in his clouds,(G)
    yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.
He covers the face of the full moon,
    spreading his clouds(H) over it.
10 He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters(I)
    for a boundary between light and darkness.(J)
11 The pillars of the heavens quake,(K)
    aghast at his rebuke.
12 By his power he churned up the sea;(L)
    by his wisdom(M) he cut Rahab(N) to pieces.
13 By his breath the skies(O) became fair;
    his hand pierced the gliding serpent.(P)
14 And these are but the outer fringe of his works;
    how faint the whisper(Q) we hear of him!(R)
    Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”(S)
