Job 9

¹And Job made answer and said,

²Truly, I see that it is so: and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God?

³If a man was desiring to go to law with him, he would not be able to give him an answer to one out of a thousand questions.

⁴He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it?

⁵It is he who takes away the mountains without their knowledge, overturning them in his wrath:

⁶Who is moving the earth out of its place, so that its pillars are shaking:

⁷Who gives orders to the sun, and it does not give its light; and who keeps the stars from shining.

⁸By whose hand the heavens were stretched out, and who is walking on the waves of the sea:

⁹Who made the Bear and Orion, and the Pleiades, and the store-houses of the south:

¹⁰Who does great things not to be searched out; yes, wonders without number.

¹¹See, he goes past me and I see him not: he goes on before, but I have no knowledge of him.

¹²If he puts out his hand to take, by whom may it be turned back? who may say to him, What are you doing?

¹³God's wrath may not be turned back; the helpers of Rahab were bent down under him.

¹⁴How much less may I give an answer to him, using the right words in argument with him?
