New Testament

Job 9:5-17 God's Word Translation (GW)

5. He moves mountains without their knowing it,and he topples them in his anger.

6. He shakes the earth from its place,and its pillars tremble.

7. He commands the sun not to rise.He doesn’t let the stars come out.

8. He stretches out the heavens by himselfand walks on the waves of the sea.

9. He made ⌊the constellations⌋ Ursa Major, Orion, and the Pleiades,and the clusters of stars in the south.

10. He does great things that are unsearchableand miracles that cannot be numbered.

11. He passes alongside of me, and I don’t even see him.He goes past me, and I don’t even notice him.

12. He takes something away, ⌊but⌋ who can stop him?Who is going to ask him, ‘What are you doing?’

13. God does not hold back his anger.Even Rahab’s helpers bow humbly in front of him.

14. “How can I possibly answer God?How can I find the right words ⌊to speak⌋ with him?

15. Even if I were right, I could not answer ⌊him⌋.I would have to plead for mercy from my judge.

16. If I cried out and he answered me,I do not believe that he would listen to me.

17. He would knock me down with a stormand bruise me without a reason.
