Job 9:2-12

2“Yes, I know it is true. But how can a mortal man be right before God?

3If one should want to contend or dispute with Him, He could not answer Him once in a thousand times.

4God is wise in heart and mighty in strength; Who has [ever] defied or challenged Him and remained unharmed?

5It is God who removes the mountains, and they do not know it, When He overturns them in His anger;

6Who shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble;

7Who commands the sun, and it does not shine; Who seals up the stars [from view];

8Who alone stretches out the heavens And tramples down the waves of the sea;

9Who made [the constellations] the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the [vast starry] spaces of the south;

10Who does great things, [beyond understanding,] unfathomable, Yes, marvelous and wondrous things without number.

11Behold, He passes by me, and I do not see Him; He moves past me, but I do not perceive Him.

12Behold, He snatches away; who can restrain or turn Him back? Who will say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’
