1. Then Job answered and said,
2. I know it is so of a truth, but how shall a man be justified with God?
3. If he desires to contend with him, he will not be able to answer him one thing of a thousand.
4. He is wise in heart and mighty in strength; who has hardened himself against him and remained in peace?
5. Who uproots the mountains in his anger, and they know not who overturned them.
6. Who removes the earth out of her place and causes her pillars to tremble.
7. Who commands the sun, and it rises not; and seals up the stars.
8. He alone extends the heavens and walks upon the waves of the sea.
9. He who made Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the secret places of the south.
10. He who does great things past finding out, and wonders without number.
11. Behold, he shall pass before me, and I shall not see him; and he shall pass on, and I shall not understand him.
