MSG ^(5-14)“All the buried dead are in torment,
  and all who’ve been drowned in the deep, deep sea.
Hell is ripped open before God,
  graveyards dug up and exposed.
He spreads the skies over unformed space,
  hangs the earth out in empty space.
He pours water into cumulus cloud-bags
  and the bags don’t burst.
He makes the moon wax and wane,
  putting it through its phases.
He draws the horizon out over the ocean,
  sets a boundary between light and darkness.
Thunder crashes and rumbles in the skies.
  Listen! It’s God raising his voice!
By his power he stills sea storms,
  by his wisdom he tames sea monsters.
With one breath he clears the sky,
  with one finger he crushes the sea serpent.
And this is only the beginning,
  a mere whisper of his rule.
  Whatever would we do if he really raised his voice!”

pillars heaven tremble and,astounded at,rebuke,his

Many interpreters believe that here Job is speaking of high mountains as if they were the pillars of the heavens, since they appear to hold up the sky. Job would also be speaking as if God were literally issuing a rebuke to the mountains and that in response, they tremble and marvel. The reference may be to an earthquake, which causes mountains to shake. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God sends earthquakes that make even the high mountains shake”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

יְרוֹפָ֑פוּ וְ֝⁠יִתְמְה֗וּ

tremble and,astounded

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word marvel, a reference to being astonished by the power of God, tells why the pillars of the heavens tremble. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: “shake with fear”
