Context of Job 9:10
8he alone spreads out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea; 9he makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the constellations of the southern sky; he does great and unsearchable things, and wonderful things without number. 11If he passes by me, I cannot see him, if he goes by, I cannot perceive him. 12If he snatches away, who can turn him back? Who dares to say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
