yessir. clouds are balloons that hold water.

yep. job thinks the earth is a flat dish.

love them pillars. you can see them on a clear day.
Yes, clouds do hold water. Ask any weatherman where does the rain come from?
The circle is not around the waters but on the waters so you see the light
from the sun as it appears on one side in the morning and the darness of
the night after the sun moves across the circular path on the surface of the
waters until it disappears on the others side. Job is discribing what happens
every day. You are just too stubborn to acknowledge that the Holy Bible
could be right.
I don't think Job is talking about a clear day in Job 26:11, but a stormy day
with lightning and thunder. Look at it again in context Verses 7-14 NKJV.
"He stretches out the north over empty space;
He hangs the earth on nothing.
He binds up the water in His thick clouds,
Yet the clouds are not broken under it.
He covers the face of His throne,
And spreads His cloud over it.
He drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters,
At the boundary of light and darkness.
The pillars of heaven tremble,
And are astonished at His rebuke.
He stirs up the sea with His power,
And by His understanding He breaks up the storm.
By His Spirit He adorned the heavens;
His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways,
And how small a whisper we hear of Him!
But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
P.S. When a storm comes up the waters in the sea are stirred up.
You probably had difficulty in understanding poetry in school, too.
