Job 9:4–10 — The New International Version (NIV)

His wisdom is profound, his power is vast.

Who has resisted him and come out unscathed?

He moves mountains without their knowing it

and overturns them in his anger.

He shakes the earth from its place

and makes its pillars tremble.

He speaks to the sun and it does not shine;

he seals off the light of the stars.

He alone stretches out the heavens

and treads on the waves of the sea.

He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion,

the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.

10 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed,

miracles that cannot be counted.

Job 9:4–10 — King James Version (KJV 1900)

He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength:

Who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?

Which removeth the mountains, and they know not:

Which overturneth them in his anger.

Which shaketh the earth out of her place,

And the pillars thereof tremble.

Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not;

And sealeth up the stars.

Which alone spreadeth out the heavens,

And treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

Which maketh Arcturus, Orion,

And Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.

10 Which doeth great things past finding out;

Yea, and wonders without number.

Job 9:4–10 — New Living Translation (NLT)

For God is so wise and so mighty.

Who has ever challenged him successfully?

“Without warning, he moves the mountains,

overturning them in his anger.

He shakes the earth from its place,

and its foundations tremble.

If he commands it, the sun won’t rise

and the stars won’t shine.

He alone has spread out the heavens

and marches on the waves of the sea.

He made all the stars—the Bear and Orion,

the Pleiades and the constellations of the southern sky.

10 He does great things too marvelous to understand.

He performs countless miracles.

And treads on the waves of the sea;

And the chambers of the south;

Yes, wonders without number.
