Job 40:8
Would you really annul My justice? Would you condemn Me to justify yourself?
BSB
ASV
Wilt thou even annul my judgment? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be justified?
KJV
Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
Wilt thou not only contend with, but set aside My judgment or justice in the government of the world? condemn--declare Me unrighteous, in order that thou mayest be accounted righteous (innocent; undeservingly afflicted).
Wilt thou - Every word is emphatical, wilt (art thou resolved upon it) thou (thou Job, whom I took to be one of a better mind) also (not only vindicate thyself, but also accuse me) disannul (not only question, but even repeal and make void, as if it were unjust) my judgment?
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.
In my alarm I said, “All men are liars!”
But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!

Isaiah 14:27The LORD of Hosts has purposed, and who can thwart Him? His hand is outstretched, so who can turn it back?

Even from eternity I am He, and none can deliver out of My hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”
But He is unchangeable, and who can oppose Him? He does what He desires.
and said, “O LORD, God of our fathers, are You not the God who is in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in…
There is no wisdom, no understanding, no counsel that can prevail against the LORD.
If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’
