Job 9 — Context

By whose hand the heavens were stretched out, and who is walking on the waves of the sea:

Who made the Bear and Orion, and the Pleiades, and the store-houses of the south:

Who does great things not to be searched out; yes, wonders without number.

See, he goes past me and I see him not: he goes on before, but I have no knowledge of him.

If he puts out his hand to take, by whom may it be turned back? who may say to him, What are you doing?

God's wrath may not be turned back; the helpers of Rahab were bent down under him.

How much less may I give an answer to him, using the right words in argument with him?
