Job 9:6
4 God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has resisted Him and prospered?
5 He moves mountains without their knowledge and overturns them in His anger.
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.
8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
