Job 9:2-12

2I know it to be so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?1

3If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one time out of a thousand.

4He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?

5Who removeth the mountains, and they know not: who overturneth them in his anger.

6Who shaketh the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble.

7Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.

8Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.2

9Who maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.3

10Who doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.

11Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

12Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say to him, What doest thou?4
