Grand stuff indeed

The Bible (of course) speaks marvelous truths to us about the character and nature of God. And I very much enjoy the variety of ways those truths are presented. There is story, history, parables, romance, mystery and more, including some very literary passages. Consider this:

"[God] spreads out the northern skies over empty space;
he suspends the earth over nothing.

He wraps up the waters in his clouds,
yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.

He covers the face of the full moon,
spreading his clouds over it.

He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters
for a boundary between light and darkness.

The pillars of the heavens quake,
aghast at his rebuke.

By his power he churned up the sea;
by his wisdom he cut Rahab to pieces.

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 26:7-14 (emphasis mine)
