Bible Verses stating earth isn't a globe.
While you wont find "Earth is a Globe" or "Earth is Flat" in the Bible, You will find many references referring to the overall shape, such as "face of earth" and "corners of the earth" and "ends of the earth" in the scriptures.
Now, you'll have to decide if Globes have Ends, Corners or a Face (tip: clocks have a face, but I've never met a sphere with a face)
How about "The earth takes shape like clay under a seal"?
