He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 26 of Job. Job responds ironically and then offers a majestic description of God’s creative power. He speaks of the realms of the dead, clouds, horizon, and forces of the sea. The passage ends by acknowledging that all this represents only a portion of God’s works. God’s greatness is affirmed without being used to silence the mystery.

Er faßt das Wasser zusammen in seine Wolken, und die Wolken zerreißen darunter nicht.
Ata las aguas en sus nubes, Y las nubes no se rompen debajo de ellas.
Encierra las aguas en sus nubes y las nubes no se rompen bajo ellas.
Il renferme les eaux dans ses nuages, Et les nuages n'éclatent pas sous leur poids.
Egli serra le acque nelle sue nuvole, E non però si schiantano le nubi sotto esse.
Prende as águas nas suas nuvens, todavia a nuvem não se rasga debaixo delas.
他將水包在密雲中, 盛水的雲卻不破裂。
