Job 23:6

American Standard Version 2015

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

See the chapter Copy

Withdraw thy hand far from me;\par\tab 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 {\i 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 {\i we speak} of strength, lo, {\i he is} mighty!\par\tab And if of justice, Who, {\i saith he}, will summon me?

{\i He is} wise in heart, and mighty in strength:\par\tab Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?—

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

If he be pleased to contend with him,\par\tab He cannot answer him one of a thousand.

I would know the words which he would answer me,\par\tab And understand what he would say unto me.
