4. He is wise in heart and mighty in strength – who has resisted him and remained safe?
5. He who removes mountains suddenly,who overturns them in his anger;
6. he who shakes the earth out of its placeso that its pillars tremble;
7. he who commands the sun and it does not shineand seals up the stars;
8. he alone spreads out the heavens,and treads on the waves of the sea;
9. he makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,and the constellations of the southern sky;
10. he does great and unsearchable things,and wonderful things without number.
11. If he passes by me, I cannot see him,if he goes by, I cannot perceive him.
12. If he snatches away, who can turn him back?Who dares to say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
13. God does not restrain his anger;under him the helpers of Rahab lie crushed.
14. “How much less, then, can I answer himand choose my words to argue with him!
15. Although I am innocent, I could not answer him;I could only plead with my judge for mercy.
16. If I summoned him, and he answered me,I would not believe that he would be listening to my voice –
17. he who crushes me with a tempest,and multiplies my wounds for no reason.
