'Contend' in the Bible

But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
