Job 23:6

Revised Version 1885

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

See the chapter Copy

Withdraw thine hand far from me; And let not thy terror make me afraid.

and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, 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 be king over you:

In measure, when thou sendest her away, thou dost contend with her; he hath removed her with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.

Fury 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 we speak of the strength of the mighty, lo, he is there! And if of judgement, who will appoint me a time?

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

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

If he be pleased to 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.
