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.
18. He would not let me catch my breath.He fills me with bitterness.
19. If it is a matter of strength,then he is the mighty one.If it is about justice,who will charge me with a crime?
20. If I am righteous, my own mouth would condemn me.It would declare that I am corrupt even if I am a man of integrity.
21. If I am a man of integrity, I have no way of knowing it.I hate my life!
