Job 9:3

¹ Then Job answered and said,

² I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?

If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.

⁴ He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?

⁵ Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
