But who is able to build a house for Him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain Him? Who then am I, that I should build a house for Him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before Him?

And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that.

Who among all the gods of these nations that my fathers devoted to destruction has been able to deliver his people from my hand? How then can your God deliver you from my hand?

“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, who has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, has appointed me to build a house for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. Whoever among you belongs to His people, may the LORD his God be with him, and may he go up.’”

Whoever among you belongs to His people, may his God be with him, and may he go to Jerusalem in Judah and build the house of the LORD, the God of Israel; He is the God who is in Jerusalem.

But I replied, “Should a man like me run away? Should one like me go into the temple to save his own life? I will not go!”

For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows if perhaps you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

“Who is in the court?” the king asked. Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.

Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor?” Now Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king be delighted to honor more than me?”

Then King Xerxes spoke up and asked Queen Esther, “Who is this, and where is the one who would devise such a scheme?”

“If one ventures a word with you, will you be wearied? Yet who can keep from speaking?

Consider now, I plead: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Or where have the upright been destroyed?

“Call out if you please, but who will answer? To which of the holy ones will you turn?

If only my request were granted and God would fulfill my hope:

God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has resisted Him and prospered?

If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’

If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?

But if only God would speak and open His lips against you,

If He comes along to imprison you, or convenes a court, who can stop Him?

But I also have a mind; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these?

Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?

If only you would remain silent; for that would be your wisdom!

Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.

Who can bring out clean from unclean? No one!

If only You would hide me in Sheol and conceal me until Your anger has passed! If only You would appoint a time for me and then remember me!

Give me, I pray, the pledge You demand. Who else will be my guarantor?

…where then is my hope? Who can see any hope for me?

I wish that my words were recorded and inscribed in a book,

Who denounces his behavior to his face? Who repays him for what he has done?

If only I knew where to find Him, so that I could go to His seat.

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

If this is not so, then who can prove me a liar and reduce my words to nothing?”

Can His troops be numbered? On whom does His light not rise?

To whom have you uttered these words? And whose spirit spoke through you?

Indeed, these are but the fringes of His ways; how faint is the whisper we hear of Him! Who then can understand the thunder of His power?”

“How I long for the months gone by, for the days when God watched over me,

…if the men of my house have not said, ‘Who is there who has not had his fill?’—

(Oh, that I had one to hear me! Here is my signature. Let the Almighty answer me; let my accuser compose an indictment.

What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?

Who gave Him charge over the earth? Who appointed Him over the whole world?

But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,

Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?

Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’?
