7. He commands the sun and it does not rise, and he closes the stars as if under a seal.
8. He alone extends the heavens, and he walks upon the waves of the sea.
9. He fashions Arcturus, and Orion, and Hyades, and the interior of the south.
10. He accomplishes great and incomprehensible and miraculous things, which cannot be numbered.
11. If he approaches me, I will not see him; if he departs, I will not understand.
12. If he suddenly should question, who will answer him? Or who can say, "Why did you do so?"
13. God, whose wrath no one is able to resist, and under whom they bend who carry the world,
14. what am I then, that I should answer him and exchange words with him?
15. And if I now have any justice, I will not respond, but will beseech my judge.
16. And if he should listen to me when I call, I would not believe that he had heard my voice.
17. For he will crush me in a whirlwind and multiply my wounds, even without cause.
18. He does not permit my spirit to rest, and he fills me with bitterness.
19. If strength is sought, he is most strong; if equity in judgment, no one would dare to give testimony for me.
20. If I wanted to justify myself, my own mouth will condemn me; if I would reveal my innocence, he would prove me depraved.
