Job 23:6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would give heed to me.

See the chapter Copy

withdraw your hand far from me, and do not let 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, says the Lord God, surely with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out, I will be king over you.

By expulsion, by exile you struggled against them; with his fierce blast he removed them in the day of the east wind.

I have no wrath. If it gives me thorns and briers, I will march to battle against it. I will burn it up.

If it is a contest of strength, he is the strong one! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?

He is wise in heart and mighty in strength; who has resisted him and succeeded?

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

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

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