Job 26:5-14
From Reconciling understandings of Scripture and Science
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
7 He stretches out the north over the void,
and hangs the earth upon nothing.
This verse is sometimes read as meaning that the Earth orbits in space. This would suggest that the Bible is divinely inspired, since this scientific fact was unknown when the Bible was written. Similarly, Isaiah 40:22 is sometimes read as referring to the spherical shape of the Earth.
