Bible in Basic English
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
— Job 26:11-1964, Bible in Basic English
“The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof. He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud. 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? ”
By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.
By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.
By him a circle is marked out on the face of the waters, to the limits of the light and the dark.
The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.
By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.
