Job 9:2-12

2‘The things that you have said are true. But nobody can show God that he is completely good.

3It is not possible to argue with God. God can ask 1,000 questions that we cannot answer.

4God is very wise and he is very powerful. It is impossible to argue against him and win.

5He has the power to move mountains suddenly. When he is angry he can knock them down.

6He shakes the earth, to move it from its proper place. The foundations of the earth shake!

7He may command the sun not to shine during the day. He may stop the stars shining at night.

8God alone put the whole sky in its place. He marches over the waves of the sea.

9He put the groups of stars in their places. He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades. He put the groups of stars in the southern sky.

10He does great things that we cannot understand. He does more wonderful things than we can count.

11When God passes in front of me, I do not see him. If he moves further away, I do not see where he has gone.

12If God decides to take something, nobody can stop him. Nobody can ask him, “What are you doing?”
