Job 23:6

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.

See the chapter Copy

Withdraw thine hand far from me: And let not thy dread make me afraid.

And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.

As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:

In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: And if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?

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

In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, And strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

If he will 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.
