Job

Job 9:4–7

⁴God is wise in heart and mighty in strength.

Who has resisted Him and prospered?

⁵He moves mountains without their knowledge

and overturns them in His anger.

⁶He shakes the earth from its place,

so that its foundations tremble.

⁷He commands the sun not to shine;^b

He seals off the stars.
