He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger.

he who removes mountains, and they know it not, when he overturns them in his anger

“Without warning, he moves the mountains, overturning them in his anger.

He removes mountains without their knowledge, overturning them in his anger.

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

He removes the mountains, and they do not know When He overturns them in His anger

Job continued by saying: “So what’s new? I know all this. The question is, ‘How can mere mortals get right with God?’ If we wanted to bring our case before him, what chance would we have? Not one in a thousand! God’s wisdom is so deep, God’s power so immense, who could take him on and come out in one piece? He moves mountains before they know what’s happened, flips them on their heads on a whim. He gives the earth a good shaking up, rocks it down to its very foundations. He tells the sun, ‘Don’t shine,’ and it doesn’t; he pulls the blinds on the stars. All by himself he stretches out the heavens and strides on the waves of the sea. He designed the Big Dipper and Orion, the Pleiades and Alpha Centauri. We’ll never comprehend all the great things he does; his miracle-surprises can’t be counted. Somehow, though he moves right in front of me, I don’t see him; quietly but surely he’s active, and I miss it. If he steals you blind, who can stop him? Who’s going to say, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’ God doesn’t hold back on his anger; even dragon-bred monsters cringe before him.

“It is God who removes the mountains, and they do not know how, When He overturns them in His anger.

“It is God who removes the mountains, and they do not know it, When He overturns them in His anger

He who removes mountains suddenly, who overturns them in his anger
