Job 9:1–12
9 Then Job answered:
2 Yes, I know what you’ve said is true,
but how can a person be justified before God?ac
3 If one wanted to takead him to court,
he could not answer GodA once in a thousand times.a
4 God is wiseb and all-powerful.
Who has opposed him and come out unharmed?
5 He removes mountains without their knowledge,
overturning them in his anger.c
6 He shakes the earth from its place
so that its pillars tremble.
7 He commands the sun not to shine
and seals off the stars.d
8 He alone stretches out the heavense
and treads on the waves of the sea.B
9 He makes the stars: the Bear,C Orion,
the Pleiades,f and the constellationsD of the southern sky.
10 He does great and unsearchable things,
wonders without number.g
11 If he passed by me, I wouldn’t see him;h
if he went by, I wouldn’t recognize him.
12 If he snatches something, who can stopE him?
Who can ask him, “What are you doing?”i
