His wisdom(A) is profound, his power is vast.(B)
    Who has resisted(C) him and come out unscathed?(D)
He moves mountains(E) without their knowing it
    and overturns them in his anger.(F)
He shakes the earth(G) from its place
    and makes its pillars tremble.(H)
He speaks to the sun and it does not shine;(I)
    he seals off the light of the stars.(J)
He alone stretches out the heavens(K)
    and treads on the waves of the sea.(L)
He is the Maker(M) of the Bear[a] and Orion,
    the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.(N)
10 He performs wonders(O) that cannot be fathomed,
    miracles that cannot be counted.(P)
11 When he passes me, I cannot see him;
    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)
13 God does not restrain his anger;(T)
    even the cohorts of Rahab(U) cowered at his feet.

14 “How then can I dispute with him?
    How can I find words to argue with him?(V)
