Job 26:12
_ _ divideth — (Psalms 74:13). Perhaps at creation (Genesis 1:9, Genesis 1:10). The parallel clause favors Umbreit, “He stilleth.” But the Hebrew means “He moves.” Probably such a “moving” is meant as that at the assuaging of the flood by the wind which “God made to pass over” it (Genesis 8:1; Psalms 104:7).
_ _ the proud — rather, “its pride,” namely, of the sea (Job 9:13). |
