Job 9:11

Job 9:11

Compare all

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?

15 ^aFor though I were righteous, I could not answer Him;
I would beg mercy of my Judge.

<< Job 9:10

Job 9:12 >>

I see him not: he passeth on—The image is that of a howling wind (Isaiah 21:1). Like it when it bursts invisibly upon man, so God is felt in the awful effects of His wrath, but is not seen (John 3:8). Therefore, reasons Job, it is impossible to contend with Him.
