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. |
