Job 9:2-12

2"Truly I know that it is so: But how can a man be in the right before God?

3If one wished to contend with him, one could not answer him once in a thousand times.

4He is wise in heart and mighty in strength —who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?—

5he who removes mountains, and they know it not, 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 rise; who seals up the stars;

8who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea;

9who made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the chambers of the south;

10who does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number.

11Behold, he passes by me, and I see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him.

12Behold, he snatches away; who can turn him back? Who will say to him, 'What are you doing?'
