Then Job answered and said,
Of a truth I know that it is so: But how can man be just with God?
If he be pleased to contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand.
He iswise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?—
Himthat removeth the mountains, and they know it not, When he overturneth them in his anger;
That shaketh the earth out of its place, And the pillars thereof tremble;
