Job 9:1-13

Jubilee Bible 2000

9 ¶ Then Job answered and said,

² I know it is so of a truth, but how shall a man be justified with God?

³ If he desires to contend with him, he will not be able to answer him one thing of a thousand.

⁴ He is wise in heart and mighty in strength; who has hardened himself against him and remained in peace?

⁵ Who uproots the mountains in his anger, and they know not who overturned them.

⁶ Who removes the earth out of her place and causes her pillars to tremble.

⁷ Who commands the sun, and it rises not; and seals up the stars.

⁸ He alone extends the heavens and walks upon the waves of the sea.

⁹ He who made Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the secret places of the south.

¹⁰ He who does great things past finding out, and wonders without number.

¹¹ Behold, he shall pass before me, and I shall not see him; and he shall pass on, and I shall not understand him.

¹² Behold, he shall take away, who can cause him to restore? Who shall say unto him, What doest thou?

¹³ God will not withdraw his anger, and under him those who help, unto pride are bent over.
