Context of Job 9:6
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. Who 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.
