One must put all the facts on the table. Fact one Job wished he could've recorded his words Job 19:23 so the question remains " who wrote the book of Job. It's commonly accepted that Job supposedly happened around the time of the Torah and some believe Moses wrote it, one must ask why it isn't included in the Torah. In any case Job 26:7 shows Hebrew poetry. It's basically when two ideas are related. This isn't the case all the time. If one could identify the use of "Northern Skies over empty space" and how it relates to the Earth being suspended over nothing you'd see it is talking about the Northern Kingdom. The northern kingdom being scattered into all the Earth.refer to the Hebrew word Tohu mentioned in B'reisheet/Genesis to get a better pic.
