Job 9:5-12

(5) Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. (6) Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. (7) Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. (8) Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. (9) Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. (10) Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. (11) Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. (12) Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?

Now let the Reader follow the footsteps of the HOLY GHOST, and mark, as he goeth on through Job's history, how Satan is baffled, and the poor sufferer is helped forward by grace. Satan was confident that Job would curse GOD, but behold how he blesseth him: how highly doth he talk of GOD'S perfections. The poor afflicted mourner seems to forget, for the moment, his own sorrows, while discoursing of GOD'S glory. Observe how Job follows GOD in the world of nature; removing mountains, shaking the earth, controlling the heavenly bodies and governing the sea. Then he prosecutes the subject into the world of providence; going by unperceived, taking away and none can hinder him, or say unto him, what doest thou? And had Job lived under the gospel of JESUS, how would his soul have expatiated on JESUS works in the world of grace? Reader! think what blessed privileges you are called to, before whom light and immortality is so fully brought to light in the gospel.
