To our observations, I believe the universe is spherical. But remember, by human observations, they thought the sun revolved around the Earth and the stars were fixed in place.
I'm quite confident that the measurements we can make today are a lot more reliable than Bible passages. It's thanks to science that we can even see beyond our atmosphere in detail in the first place.
