Job 9:1-13
Authorized (King James) Version
9 Then Job answered and said,
2 I know it is so of a truth:
but how should man be just with God?
3 If he will contend with him,
he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength:
who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not:
which overturneth them in his anger.
6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place,
and the pillars thereof tremble.
7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not;
and sealeth up the stars.
8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens,
and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades,
and the chambers of the south.
10 Which doeth great things past finding out;
yea, and wonders without number.
11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not:
he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him?
who will say unto him, What doest thou?
13 If God will not withdraw his anger,
the proud helpers do stoop under him.
Job 9:1-13
American Standard Version
9 Then Job answered and said,
2 Of a truth I know that it is so:
[a]But how can man be just [b]with God?
3 [c]If he be pleased to contend with him,
He cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength:
Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?—
5 Him that removeth the mountains, and they know it not,
When he overturneth them in his anger;
6 That shaketh the earth out of its place,
And the pillars thereof tremble;
7 That commandeth the sun, and it riseth not,
And sealeth up the stars;
8 That alone stretcheth out the heavens,
And treadeth upon the [d]waves of the sea;
9 That maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,
And the chambers of the south;
10 That doeth great things past finding out,
Yea, marvellous things without number.
11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not:
He passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
12 Behold, he seizeth the prey, who can [e]hinder him?
Who will say unto him, What doest thou?
