“The dead are in deep anguish, those beneath the waters and all that live in them.

The dead tremble under the waters and their inhabitants.

“The dead tremble— those who live beneath the waters.

The departed spirits tremble beneath the waters and all that inhabit them.

Dead things are formed From under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

“The dead tremble, Those under the waters and those inhabiting them.

“All the buried dead are in torment, and all who’ve been drowned in the deep, deep sea. Hell is ripped open before God, graveyards dug up and exposed. He spreads the skies over unformed space, hangs the earth out in empty space. He pours water into cumulus cloud-bags and the bags don’t burst. He makes the moon wax and wane, putting it through its phases. He draws the horizon out over the ocean, sets a boundary between light and darkness. Thunder crashes and rumbles in the skies. Listen! It’s God raising his voice! By his power he stills sea storms, by his wisdom he tames sea monsters. With one breath he clears the sky, with one finger he crushes the sea serpent. And this is only the beginning, a mere whisper of his rule. Whatever would we do if he really raised his voice!”

¶“The departed spirits are made to tremble Under the waters and their inhabitants.

¶“The spirits of the dead tremble Underneath the waters and their inhabitants.

“The dead tremble – those beneath the waters and all that live in them.
