He is (A)wise in heart and mighty in strength
    —who has (B)hardened himself against him, and succeeded?—
he who removes mountains, and they know it not,
    when he overturns them in his anger,
who (C)shakes the earth out of its place,
    and (D)its pillars tremble;
who commands the sun, and it does not rise;
    who seals up the stars;
who alone (E)stretched out the heavens
    and trampled the waves of the sea;
who (F)made (G)the Bear and (H)Orion,
    the Pleiades (I)and the chambers of the south;
10 who does (J)great things beyond searching out,
    and marvelous things beyond number.
11 Behold, he passes by me, and I (K)see him not;
    he moves on, but I do not perceive him.
12 Behold, he snatches away; (L)who can turn him back?
    (M)Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’

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

10 He performs wonders(O) that cannot be fathomed,
    miracles that cannot be counted.(P)

    when he goes by, I cannot perceive him.(Q)
12 If he snatches away, who can stop him?(R)
    Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’(S)
