3. Anyone who chose to argue with him could not answer one question in a thousand!
4. God is so wise and powerful that no one could oppose him and survive.
5. When God is angry, he moves mountains before they know what happened.
6. He can shake the earth, and it will tremble down to its foundations.
7. With one command he can stop the sun from rising. He can lock up the stars and keep them from shining.
8. He alone made the skies, and he walks on the ocean waves.
9. “God made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades. He made the planets that cross the southern sky.
10. He does things too marvelous for people to understand. He does too many miracles to count!
11. When he passes by, I cannot see him. He goes right past me, and I don’t notice.
12. If he takes something away, no one can stop him. No one can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
