Job 38:12-13 says the world has edges.

Job 38:14 claims the Earth stamped flat like a clay seal.

Matthew 4:1-12 claims the entire world can be seen from the top of a tall mountain. Daniel 4:10-11 is similar.

A number of verses claim the Earth has corners. For example, Isaiah 11:12 and Ezekiel 7:2.

err... it says the Earth is flat and with the form of a circe like the base of a cone.
But you can interpret it as a metaphor, I think that's the elegant way to get out of that one.

Do they have infinite corners or no corners at all? Now that's a good debate.

Point being verbiage may or may not be an accurate description
instead simply a turn of a phrase in common terms of the day,
either in the original language or the translators description of it.

That's right. The Bible contradicts itself often.
