Context of Job 9:10
8He alone has spread out the heavens and marches on the waves of the sea. 9He made all the stars—the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the southern sky. He does great things too marvelous to understand. He performs countless miracles. 11“Yet when he comes near, I cannot see him. When he moves by, I do not see him go. 12If he snatches someone in death, who can stop him? Who dares to ask, ‘What are you doing?’
