Job 26:13-14
Contemporary English Version

13 The heavens became bright
    when he breathed,
and the escaping sea monster[a]
    died at his hands.
14 These things are merely a whisper
    of God's power at work.
How little we would understand
if this whisper
    ever turned into thunder!

    Who then can understand the thunder of his power?”(E)
