1. Then Job answered and said,
2. I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just before God?
3. If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him, and has prospered?
5. Who removes the mountains, and they know not: who overturns them in his anger.
6. Who shakes the earth out of its place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
7. Who commands the sun, and it rises not; and seals up the stars.
8. Who alone spreads out the heavens, and treads upon the waves of the sea.
