Job 23:6

A Conservative Version

Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would give heed to me.

See the chapter Copy

Withdraw thy hand far from me, and do not let thy dread make me afraid.

and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples. And there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.

As I live, says lord LORD, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, I will be king over you.

In measure, in sending it forth, thou content with it. He has removed with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.

Wrath is not in me. Would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them. I would burn them together.

If of strength, lo, [he is] mighty! And if of justice, who will summon me?

[He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?

Thou answered me in the day that I called. Thou encouraged me with strength in my soul.

If he is pleased to contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.

I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
