Job » A man who lived in uz » Submission of, to God
JOB ANSWERED JEHOVAH: I am so insignificant. How can I answer you? I will put my hand over my mouth. I spoke once, but I cannot answer twice. I will proceed no further.
JOB REPLIED TO JEHOVAH: I know that you can do all things and no plan of yours can be thwarted. You asked: 'Who is this that obscures my counsel without knowledge? Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.' read more.

Opposition » There being no opposition to the lord
There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against Jehovah!
I have revealed it to you. I have saved you, and I have announced it to you. There was no foreign god among you. You are my witnesses that I am God, declares Jehovah. From the beginning I was the one who did this. No one can rescue people from my power. When I do something, who can undo it?
Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty? They are higher than the heavens. What can you do? They are deeper than the depths of the grave. What can you know? Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea. read more.

JOB REPLIED TO JEHOVAH: I know that you can do all things and no plan of yours can be thwarted.
The Lord Jehovah helps me. That is why I will not be ashamed. I have set my face like a flint (firm and resolute). I know that I will not be put to shame. The one who pronounces me innocent is near. Who will bring a case against me? Let us confront each other! Who accuses me? Let him draw near to me! The Lord Jehovah helps me. Who will find me guilty? They will all wear out like a garment and moths will eat them.
At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven and my understanding returned to me. I blessed the Most High and I praised and honored the one who lives forever. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom from generation to generation. All the inhabitants of the earth are considered as nothing. He does according to his will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth. None can stop him, or say to him: 'What do you do?'
