'Heavens' in the Bible

While he was still speaking, another [messenger] also came and said, “The fire of God (lightning) has fallen from the heavens and has burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

When they looked from a distance and did not recognize him [because of his disfigurement], they raised their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe [in grief] and they threw dust over their heads toward the sky [in sorrow].

Who alone stretches out the heavensAnd tramples down the waves of the sea;

So man lies down and does not rise [again].Until the heavens are no longer,The dead will not awake nor be raised from their sleep.

“Behold, God puts no trust in His holy ones (angels);Indeed, the heavens are not pure in His sight—

“Though his pride reaches the heavensAnd his head touches the clouds,

“The heavens will reveal his wickedness and guilt,And the earth will rise up against him.

‘Thick clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see,And He walks on the vault (circle) of the heavens.’

“The pillars of the heavens trembleAnd are terrified at His rebuke.

“By His breath the heavens are cleared;His hand has pierced the [swiftly] fleeing serpent.

“It is hidden from the eyes of all the livingAnd concealed from the birds of the heavens.

“For He looks to the ends of the earthAnd sees everything under the heavens.

“Look to the heavens and see;And behold the skies which are [much] higher than you.

Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earthAnd makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’

“Do you know about the layers of thick clouds [and how they are balanced and poised in the heavens],The wonderful works of Him who is perfect in knowledge,

“Do you know the ordinances of the heavens,Or [can you] establish their rule over the earth?

“Who can count the clouds by [earthly] wisdom,Or pour out the water jars of the heavens,

“Who has first given to Me that I should repay him?Whatever is under the whole heaven is Mine. [Who can have a claim against Me who made the unmastered beast?]

“He looks on everything that is high [without terror];He is monarch over all the sons of pride. [And now, Job, who are you who does not dare to disturb the beast, yet who dares resist Me, the beast’s creator? Everything under the heavens is Mine; therefore, who can have a claim against God?]”
