Then Job answered and said,

1-13 Job continued by saying:“So what’s new? I know all this. The question is, ‘How can mere mortals get right with God?’If we wanted to bring our case before him, what chance would we have? Not one in a thousand!God’s wisdom is so deep, God’s power so immense, who could take him on and come out in one piece?He moves mountains before they know what’s happened, flips them on their heads on a whim.He gives the earth a good shaking up, rocks it down to its very foundations.He tells the sun, ‘Don’t shine,’ and it doesn’t; he pulls the blinds on the stars.All by himself he stretches out the heavens and strides on the waves of the sea.He designed the Big Dipper and Orion, the Pleiades and Alpha Centauri.We’ll never comprehend all the great things he does; his miracle-surprises can’t be counted.Somehow, though he moves right in front of me, I don’t see him; quietly but surely he’s active, and I miss it.If he steals you blind, who can stop him? Who’s going to say, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’God doesn’t hold back on his anger; even dragon-bred monsters cringe before him.
