As I said "Biblehub"
Biblehub has a bunch of different commentaries, but never mind, I found it. It’s from Ellicott and here it is in full:
“Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
(7) He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.—If these words mean what they seem to do—and it is hard to see how they can mean anything else—then they furnish a very remarkable instance of anticipation of the discoveries of science. Here we find Job, more than three thousand years ago, describing in language of scientific accuracy the condition of our globe, and holding it forth as a proof of Divine power. Some have attempted to explain the latter clause of the destitution caused by famine; but that is precluded by the terms of the first clause.”
I’m not crazy about this interpretation as I think Job 26:7 simply says the earth is suspended in air without any visible support (I believe one religion back in Job’s time had the earth resting on the back of a tortoise and, if I’m not mistaken, mythology had the earth resting on Atlas’ shoulders.)
So I guess the Ellicott commentary is Ok but I would just simply say Job 26:7 means the earth is suspended in the air without visible support.
