JOB Chap. 9. Vers. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. Which commandeth the Sun, and it riseth not: and sealeth up the stars. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the Sea. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion and Pleiades, and the chambers of the South. Which doth great things past finding out, yea, and wonders without number.

These particulars are reported, in the 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. verses, all closed with a triumphant Elogy in the tenth,
