1. Then Job answered and said,
2. Of a truth I know that it is so: But how can man be just with God?
3. If he be pleased to contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?-
5. Him that removeth the mountains, and they know it not, When he overturneth them in his anger;
6. That shaketh the earth out of its place, And the pillars thereof tremble;
7. That commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, And sealeth up the stars;
8. That alone stretcheth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea;
9. That maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;
10. That doeth great things past finding out, Yea, marvellous things without number.
11. Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: He passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
12. Behold, he seizeth the prey, who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?
