8. Who alone stretches out the heavens And tramples down the waves of the sea;
9. Who makes the Bear, Orion and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;
10. Who does great things, unfathomable, And wondrous works without number.
11. "Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; Were He to move past me, I would not perceive Him.
12. "Were He to snatch away, who could restrain Him? Who could say to Him, 'What are You doing?'
13. "God will not turn back His anger; Beneath Him crouch the helpers of Rahab.
