9. he makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,and the constellations of the southern sky;
10. he does great and unsearchable things,and wonderful things without number.
11. If he passes by me, I cannot see him,if he goes by, I cannot perceive him.
12. If he snatches away, who can turn him back?Who dares to say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
13. God does not restrain his anger;under him the helpers of Rahab lie crushed.
14. “How much less, then, can I answer himand choose my words to argue with him!
15. Although I am innocent, I could not answer him;I could only plead with my judge for mercy.
16. If I summoned him, and he answered me,I would not believe that he would be listening to my voice –
17. he who crushes me with a tempest,and multiplies my wounds for no reason.
18. He does not allow me to recover my breath,for he fills me with bitterness.
19. If it is a matter of strength, most certainly he is the strong one!And if it is a matter of justice, he will say, ‘Who will summon me?’
20. Although I am innocent, my mouth would condemn me;although I am blameless, it would declare me perverse.
