Job 9:1-13

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² “Indeed, I know that this is so,
    but how can a mortal be just before God?^(A)
3 If one wished to contend with him,
    one could not answer him once in a thousand.^(B)
4 He is wise in heart and mighty in strength;
    who has resisted him and succeeded?^(C)
5 He removes mountains, and they do not know it
    when he overturns them in his anger;
⁶ he shakes the earth out of its place,
    and its pillars tremble;^(D)
7 he commands the sun, and it does not rise;
    he seals up the stars;
⁸ he alone stretched out the heavens
    and trampled the waves of the Sea;^[a](E)
9 he made the Bear and Orion,
    the Pleiades and the chambers of the south;^(F)
10 he does great things beyond understanding
    and marvelous things without number.^(G)
11 Look, he passes by me, and I do not see him;
    he moves on, but I do not perceive him.^(H)
12 He snatches away; who can stop him?
    Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’^(I)

¹³ “God will not turn back his anger;
    the helpers of Rahab bowed beneath him.^(J)
