Job 9:8 in context

The verses around it, from Job 9.

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.

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.

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.

10 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?’
