9. He made the Bear and Orion,the Pleiades and the constellations of the south;
10. He does things great and unsearchable,things marvelous and innumerable.
11. Should he come near me, I do not see him;should he pass by, I am not aware of him;
12. Should he seize me forcibly, who can resist?Who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
13. He is God and he does not relent;the helpers of Rahab bow beneath him.
14. How then could I give him any answer,or choose out arguments against him!
15. Even though I were right, I could not answer,but should rather beg for what was due me.
16. If I appealed to him and he answered me,I could not believe that he would listen to me;
17. With a storm he might overwhelm me,and multiply my wounds for nothing;
18. He would not allow me to draw breath,but might fill me with bitter griefs.
19. If it be a question of strength, he is mighty;or of judgment, who will call him to account?
