Job 9:4-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
4Wise in heart and mighty in strength, Who has defied Him without harm? 5 It is God who removes the mountains, and they do not know how, When He overturns them in His anger. 6 It is He who shakes the earth from its place, And its pillars tremble; 7Who commands the sun not to shine, And puts a seal on the stars; 8Who alone stretches out the heavens, And tramples down the waves of the sea; 9Who makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the constellations of the south. 10 It is He who does great things, the unfathomable, And wondrous works without number. 11If He were to pass by me, I would not see Him; Were He to move past me, I would not perceive Him. 12If He were 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 the helpers of Rahab cower. 14How then can I answer Him, And choose my words before Him? 15For though I were right, I could not answer; I would have to implore the mercy of my Judge.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
4God is wise and all-powerful. Who has opposed him and come out unharmed? 5He removes mountains without their knowledge, overturning them in his anger. 6He shakes the earth from its place so that its pillars tremble. 7He commands the sun not to shine and seals off the stars. 8He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea. 9He makes the stars: the Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the constellations of the southern sky. 10He does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number. 11If he passed by me, I wouldn’t see him; if he went by, I wouldn’t recognize him. 12If he snatches something, who can stop him? Who can ask him, "What are you doing?" 13God does not hold back his anger; Rahab’s assistants cringe in fear beneath him! 14How then can I answer him or choose my arguments against him? 15Even if I were in the right, I could not answer. I could only beg my Judge for mercy.New Living Translation
5'Without warning, he moves the mountains, overturning them in his anger.
6He shakes the earth from its place, and its foundations tremble.
7If he commands it, the sun won’t rise and the stars won’t shine.
8He alone has spread out the heavens and marches on the waves of the sea.
9He made all the stars — the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the southern sky.
10He does great things too marvelous to understand. He performs countless miracles.

Chapter 9
4He is wise in heart and mighty in strength — who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded? — 5he who removes mountains, and they know it not, when he overturns them in his anger, 6who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble; 7who commands the sun, and it does not rise; who seals up the stars; 8who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea; 9who made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the chambers of the south; 10who does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number. 11Behold, he passes by me, and I see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him. 12Behold, he snatches away; who can turn him back? Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’ 13"God will not turn back his anger; beneath him bowed the helpers of Rahab. 14 How then can I answer him, choosing my words with him? 15 Though I am in the right, I cannot answer him; I must appeal for mercy to my accuser.New International Version
Chapter 9
4His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed? 5He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger. 6He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. 7He speaks to the sun and it does not shine; he seals off the light of the stars. 8He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea. 9He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south. 10He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. 11When he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him. 12If he snatches away, who can stop him? Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’New King James Version
