Job 9:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 9:1

1 Then Job answered and said:

2 “Truly I know it is so,
But how can a ^aman be ^brighteous before God?

3 If one wished to¹ contend with Him,
He could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.

4 ^aGod is wise in heart and mighty in strength.
Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered?

5 He removes the mountains, and they do not know
When He overturns them in His anger;

6 He ^ashakes the earth out of its place,
And its ^bpillars tremble;
