Job 9:1-13

International Children’s Bible

² “Yes, I know that this is true.
    But how can man be right in the presence of God?
³ A person might want to argue with God.
    But he could not answer God one time out of a thousand.
⁴ God’s wisdom is deep, and his power is great.
    No one can fight God without being hurt.
⁵ God moves mountains without anyone knowing it.
    He turns mountains over when he is angry.
⁶ God shakes the earth out of its place.
    And he makes the earth’s foundations shake.
⁷ God commands the sun not to shine.
    He shuts off the light of the stars.
⁸ God alone stretches out the skies.
    And he walks on the waves of the sea.
⁹ It is God who made the Bear, Orion and the Pleiades^[a]
    and the groups of stars in the southern sky.
¹⁰ God does wonderful things that people cannot understand.
    He does so many miracles they cannot be counted.
¹¹ When he passes me, I cannot see him.
    When he goes by me, I cannot recognize him.
¹² If God snatches something away, no one can stop him.
    No one can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
¹³ God will not hold back his anger.
    Even the helpers of the monster Rahab lie at God’s feet in fear.
