Job 26:13-14
Job 26:13-14 New International Version (NIV)
By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the gliding serpent. And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”
Job 26:5-14 The Message (MSG)
“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!”
Job 26:13-14 King James Version (KJV)
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; His hand hath formed the crooked serpent. Lo, these are parts of his ways: But how little a portion is heard of him? But the thunder of his power who can understand?
Job 26:13-14 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
By His breath the heavens are cleared; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent. Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint a word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understand?”
Job 26:13-14 New Century Version (NCV)
He breathes, and the sky clears. His hand stabs the fleeing snake. And these are only a small part of God’s works. We only hear a small whisper of him. Who could understand God’s thundering power?”
Job 26:13-14 American Standard Version (ASV)
By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent. Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways: And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?
Job 26:13-14 New King James Version (NKJV)
By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways, And how small a whisper we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
Job 26:13-14 Amplified Bible (AMP)
“By His breath the heavens are cleared; His hand has pierced the [swiftly] fleeing serpent. [Ps 33:6] “Yet these are just the fringes of His ways [mere samples of His power], The faintest whisper of His voice! Who can contemplate the thunder of His [full] mighty power?”
