New Testament

Job 9:3-17 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

3. If one wanted to take Him to court,he could not answer God once in a thousand times.

4. God is wise and all-powerful.Who has opposed Him and come out unharmed?

5. He removes mountains without their knowledge,overturning them in His anger.

6. He shakes the earth from its placeso that its pillars tremble.

7. He commands the sun not to shineand seals off the stars.

8. He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.

9. He makes the stars: the Bear, Orion,the Pleiades, and the constellations of the southern sky.

10. He does great and unsearchable things,wonders without number.

11. If He passes by me, I wouldn’t see Him; if He goes right by, I wouldn’t recognize Him.

12. If He snatches something, who can stop Him?Who can ask Him, “What are You doing? ”

13. God does not hold back His anger;Rahab’s assistants cringe in fear beneath Him!

14. How then can I answer Himor choose my arguments against Him?

15. Even if I were in the right, I could not answer.I could only beg my Judge for mercy.

16. If I summoned Him and He answered me,I do not believe He would pay attention to what I said.

17. He batters me with a whirlwind and multiplies my wounds without cause.
