Job 9:1-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

² Of course I know that this is true.
But how can a man be justified before God?
³ If someone wants to argue with God,
he could not refute one charge out of a thousand.^[a]
4 God has a wise heart and great power,
so who can resist God and come out of it unharmed?

⁵ God removes mountains from their position,
and they don’t even realize it.
He overturns mountains in his anger.
⁶ He shakes the earth off its foundation.
He causes its pillars to quake.
⁷ He speaks to the sun, and it does not rise,
and he seals up the stars.
⁸ He alone stretches out the heavens.
He treads on the crests of the sea.
⁹ He made the Bear, Orion, the Pleiades,^[b]
and the constellations in the southern sky.
¹⁰ He does great things that are beyond investigation.
He does miracles that are too many to be counted.
¹¹ Though he passes by me, I do not see him.
He moves past me, but I do not detect him.
¹² If he snatches something away, who can make him bring it back?
Who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
¹³ God does not hold back his anger.
Even Rahab’s^[c] helpers bow down beneath him.
