Lexicon :: Strong's H2005 - hēn

“Very well,” the LORD told Satan, “he is in your power; only spare his life.”

If God puts no trust in his servants

and he charges his angels with foolishness,[fn]

Surely this is the joy of his way of life;

yet others will sprout from the dust.

If he passed by me, I wouldn’t see him;

if he went by, I wouldn’t recognize him.

Whatever he tears down cannot be rebuilt;

whoever he imprisons cannot be released.

Look, my eyes have seen all this;

my ears have heard and understood it.

Even if he kills me, I will hope in him.[fn]

I will still defend my ways before him.

If God puts no trust in his holy ones

and the heavens are not pure in his sight,

I cry out, “Violence! ” but get no response;

I call for help, but there is no justice.

But their prosperity is not of their own doing.

The counsel of the wicked is far from me!

I know your thoughts very well,

the schemes by which you would wrong me.

If I go east, he is not there,

and if I go west, I cannot perceive him.

Like wild donkeys in the wilderness,

the poor go out to their task of foraging for food;

the desert provides nourishment for their children.

If even the moon does not shine

and the stars are not pure in his sight,

These are but the fringes of his ways;

how faint is the word we hear of him!

Who can understand his mighty thunder?

All of you have seen this for yourselves,

why do you keep up this empty talk?

He said to mankind,

“The fear of the Lord ​— ​that is wisdom.

And to turn from evil is understanding.”

If only I had someone to hear my case!

Here is my signature; let the Almighty answer me.

Let my Opponent compose his indictment.

Look, I waited for your conclusions;

I listened to your insights

as you sought for words.

I am just like you before God;

I was also pinched off from a piece of clay.

“But he finds reasons to oppose me;

he regards me as his enemy.

But I tell you that you are wrong in this matter,

since God is greater than man.

God certainly does all these things

two or three times to a person

Yes, God is mighty, but he despises no one;

he understands all things.[fn]

Look, God shows himself exalted by his power.

Who is a teacher like him?

Yes, God is exalted beyond our knowledge;

the number of his years cannot be counted.

See how he spreads his lightning around him

and covers the depths of the sea.

Can you send out lightning bolts, and they go?

Do they report to you, “Here we are”?

I am so insignificant. How can I answer you?

I place my hand over my mouth.

Though the river rages, Behemoth is unafraid;

he remains confident, even if the Jordan surges up to his mouth.

Any hope of capturing him proves false.

Does a person not collapse at the very sight of him?
