9:1	And Job, responding, said:
9:2	Truly, I know that it is so, and that man cannot be justified compared with God.
9:3	If he chooses to contend with him, he is not able to respond to him once out of a thousand times.
9:4	He is understanding in heart and mighty in strength; who has resisted him and yet had peace?
9:5	He has moved mountains, and those whom he overthrew in his fury did not know it.
9:6	He shakes the earth out of its place and its pillars tremble.
9:7	He commands the sun and it does not rise, and he closes the stars as if under a seal.
9:8	He alone extends the heavens, and he walks upon the waves of the sea.
9:9	He fashions Arcturus, and Orion, and Hyades, and the interior of the south.
9:10	He accomplishes great and incomprehensible and miraculous things, which cannot be numbered.
9:11	If he approaches me, I will not see him; if he departs, I will not understand.
9:12	If he suddenly should question, who will answer him? Or who can say, “Why did you do so?”
9:14	what am I then, that I should answer him and exchange words with him?
9:15	And if I now have any justice, I will not respond, but will beseech my judge.
9:16	And if he should listen to me when I call, I would not believe that he had heard my voice.
