Job 26:11

God's power and sovereignty

9 He covers the face of the full moon, spreading over it His cloud.

10 He has inscribed a horizon on the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness.

The foundations of heaven quake, astounded at His rebuke.

12 By His power He stirred the sea; by His understanding He shattered Rahab.

13 By His breath the skies were cleared; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
