Job 23:6

English Standard Version 2016

Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No; he would pay attention to me.

See the chapter Copy

withdraw your hand far from me, and let not dread of you terrify me.

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, declares the Lord God, surely with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out I will be king over you.

Measure by measure, by exile you contended with them; he removed them with his fierce breath in the day of the east wind.

I have no wrath. Would that I had thorns and briers to battle! I would march against them, I would burn them up together.

If it is a contest of strength, behold, he is mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?

He is wise in heart and mighty in strength —who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?—

On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.

If one wished to contend with him, one could not answer him once in a thousand times.

I would know what he would answer me and understand what he would say to me.
