Job Replies: There Is No Arbiter

9 Then Job answered and said:

2  “Truly I know that it is so:

But how can a man be zin the right before God?

3  If one wished to acontend with him,

one could not answer him once in a thousand times.

4  He is bwise in heart and mighty in strength

—who has chardened himself against him, and succeeded?—

5  he who removes mountains, and they know it not,

when he overturns them in his anger,

6  who dshakes the earth out of its place,

and eits pillars tremble;

7  who commands the sun, and it does not rise;

who seals up the stars;

8  who alone fstretched out the heavens

and trampled the waves of the sea;

9  who gmade hthe Bear and iOrion,

the Pleiades jand the chambers of the south;

10  who does kgreat things beyond searching out,

and marvelous things beyond number.

11  Behold, he passes by me, and I lsee him not;

he moves on, but I do not perceive him.

12  Behold, he snatches away; mwho can turn him back?

nWho will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
