Job 9:1–13

Then Job answered and said,

2Of a truth I know that it is so:

But how can man be just with God?

3If he be pleased to contend with him,

He cannot answer him one of a thousand.

4He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength:

Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?—

5Him that removeth the mountains, and they know it not,

When he overturneth them in his anger;

6That shaketh the earth out of its place,

And the pillars thereof tremble;

7That commandeth the sun, and it riseth not,

And sealeth up the stars;

8That alone stretcheth out the heavens,

And treadeth upon the waves of the sea;

9That maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,

And the chambers of the south;

10That doeth great things past finding out,

Yea, marvellous things without number.

11Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not:

He passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

12Behold, he seizeth the prey, who can hinder him?

Who will say unto him, What doest thou?

13God will not withdraw his anger;

The helpers of Rahab do stoop under him.
