Job 9:1 In-Context

1 Then Job answered and said,
2 I know of a truth that it is so: for how shall a mortal man be just before the Lord?

4 For he is wise in mind, and mighty, and great: who has hardened himself against him and endured?
5 Who wears out the mountains, and know it not: who overturns them in anger.
