Job 9:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

10 He does great things beyond searching out, and wonders without number.

12 If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’

13 God does not restrain His anger; the helpers of Rahab cower beneath Him.

14 How then can I answer Him or choose my arguments against Him?
