Job 9:8-18 American Standard Version (ASV)

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?

13. God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab do stoop under him.

14. How much less shall I answer him, And choose out my words to reason with him?

15. Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.

16. If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.

17. For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause.

18. He will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness.
