Job 9:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 9:2

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;

7 He commands the sun, and it does not rise;
He seals off the stars;

8 ^aHe alone spreads out the heavens,
And¹ treads on the waves of the sea;

9 ^aHe made¹ the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,
And the chambers of the south;

10 ^aHe does great things past finding out,
Yes, wonders without number.

11 ^aIf He goes by me, I do not see Him;
If He moves past, I do not perceive Him;

12 ^aIf He takes away,¹ who can hinder Him?
Who can say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’
