Context of Job 9:10
8He stretches out the heavens by himself and walks on the waves of the sea. 9He made ⌞the constellations⌟ Ursa Major, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the clusters of stars in the south. He does great things that are unsearchable and miracles that cannot be numbered. 11He passes alongside of me, and I don’t even see him. He goes past me, and I don’t even notice him. 12He takes something away, ⌞but⌟ who can stop him? Who is going to ask him, ‘What are you doing?’
