## Job 9:2-3 in Context (Verses 1–6 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/job/9/1) Then Job answered and said,
 
 [2 ](/kjv/job/9/2) I know *it is* so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/job/9/3) If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/job/9/4) *He is* wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened *himself* against him, and hath prospered?
 
 [5 ](/kjv/job/9/5) Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/job/9/6) Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
 
[Job 8](/kjv/job/8) [Job 10](/kjv/job/10)
