Job 9:5
3 If one wished to contend with God, he could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.
4 God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has resisted Him and prospered?
He moves mountains without their knowledge and overturns them in His anger.
6 He shakes the earth from its place, so that its foundations tremble.
7 He commands the sun not to shine; He seals off the stars.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
