Job 9:8 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Job 9:7      Job 9:9

Job 9:8

Only he [God] can stretch out the heavens (expand the universe),
and tread upon the waves of the sea.
[Here we sense how the Bible suggests that there must be more than the three spatial dimensions. Thanks to modern quantum physics, which speaks of 10 dimensions, it is entirely possible to interpret this verse literally, see also 2 Sam. 22:10; Job 26:7. This verse also contains a messianic hint that Jesus fulfills. Job prophetically says that only God can walk on water. When Jesus walks on water, it is yet another sign and prophetic act that proves he is God, see Matt. 14:25.]
