Job 9:8

Job 9:8

Compare all

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?’

13 God will not withdraw His anger,
^aThe allies of¹ the proud lie prostrate beneath Him.

14 “How then can I answer Him,
And choose my words to reason with Him?
