Job 23:6

American Standard Version (1901)

Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.

See the chapter Copy

Withdraw thy hand far from me; And let not thy terror make me afraid.

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

As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with wrath poured out, will I be king over you.

In measure, when thou sendest them away, thou dost contend with them; he hath removed them 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 we speak of strength, lo, he is mighty! And if of justice, Who, saith he, will summon me?

He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?—

In the day that I called thou answeredst me, Thou didst encourage me with strength in my soul.

If he be 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 unto me.
