Job 9:9-20

New International Version

⁹ He is the Maker^(A) of the Bear^[a] and Orion,
    the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.^(B)
10 He performs wonders^(C) that cannot be fathomed,
    miracles that cannot be counted.^(D)
11 When he passes me, I cannot see him;
    when he goes by, I cannot perceive him.^(E)
12 If he snatches away, who can stop him?^(F)
    Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’^(G)
13 God does not restrain his anger;^(H)
    even the cohorts of Rahab^(I) cowered at his feet.

¹⁴ “How then can I dispute with him?
    How can I find words to argue with him?^(J)
15 Though I were innocent, I could not answer him;^(K)
    I could only plead^(L) with my Judge^(M) for mercy.^(N)
16 Even if I summoned him and he responded,
    I do not believe he would give me a hearing.^(O)
17 He would crush me^(P) with a storm^(Q)
    and multiply^(R) my wounds for no reason.^(S)
18 He would not let me catch my breath
    but would overwhelm me with misery.^(T)
19 If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty!^(U)
    And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him^[b]?^(V)
20 Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me;
    if I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty.^(W)
