NRSV
14 Thick clouds enwrap him, so that he does not see,
and he walks on the dome of heaven.’ (NRSV)
KJV
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. (KJV)
"Heaven" here is שָׁמַ֗יִם Shamayim.
"Dome" or "circuit" is חוּג — also occurs in Proverbs 8:27 ("circle" or "compass") and Isaiah 40:22 ("circle").
