Job 23:13

God's power and sovereigntyGod's will and calling

11 My feet have followed in His tracks; I have kept His way without turning aside.

12 I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.

But He is unchangeable, and who can oppose Him? He does what He desires.

14 For He carries out His decree against me, and He has many such plans.

15 Therefore I am terrified in His presence; when I consider this, I fear Him.
