Job 23:6

New King James Version

Would He contend with me in His great power? No! But He would take note of me.

See the chapter Copy

Withdraw Your hand far from me, And let not the dread of You make me afraid.

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

“As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you.

In measure, by sending it away, You contended with it. He removes it by His rough wind In the day of the east wind.

Fury is not in Me. Who would set briers and thorns Against Me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

If it is a matter of strength, indeed He is strong; And if of justice, who will appoint my day in court?

God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered?

In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul.

If one wished to contend with Him, He could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.

I would know the words which He would answer me, And understand what He would say to me.
