JOB 26:9 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

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!”
