Job 9:10
8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.
9 He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, of the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
He does great things beyond searching out, and wonders without number.
11 Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; were He to move, I would not recognize Him.
12 If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
