Job 23:6

This verse runs:

Would he plead against me in the greatness of his power?

Nay, but he would give heed unto me.

The words express the thought which the idea of appearing before God's judgment-seat immediately suggests to Job "Do I mean that God should exhibit His almighty power against me? far from that, but that He would listen to me." His wish is that God would hear his arguments and answer him as a human judge who gives heed to the plea of the accused, laying aside His omnipotent power with which He now crushes him; comp. ch. Job 9:32; Job 13:20.
