Job 9:2-12

2“Yes, I know that this is true. But how can a mortal be declared righteous to God?

3If he wished to debate with God, he wouldn’t be able to answer one question in a thousand.

4“God is wise in heart and mighty in power. Who could oppose him and win?

5He moves mountains without their knowing it, and he topples them in his anger.

6He shakes the earth from its place, and its pillars tremble.

7He commands the sun not to rise. He doesn’t let the stars come out.

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.

10He 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?’
