Job 9:5-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
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. 16If I called and He answered me, I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.King James Version
Chapter 9
5Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. 6Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. 7Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. 8Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. 9Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. 10Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. 11Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. 12Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? 13If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
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. 16If I summoned him and he answered me, I do not believe he would pay attention to what I said.New Living Translation
Chapter 9
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.English Standard Version
Chapter 9
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. 14How then can I answer him, choosing my words with him? 15Though I am in the right, I cannot answer him; I must appeal for mercy to my accuser. 16If I summoned him and he answered me, I would not believe that he was listening to my voice.New International Version
Chapter 9
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?'
13God does not restrain his anger; even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet.
14How then can I dispute with him? How can I find words to argue with him?
15Though I were innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.
16Even if I summoned him and he responded, I do not believe he would give me a hearing.
