2 Chronicles 20:6

being King of kings, and Lord of lords, all the world over: and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to
withstand thee?
his power being infinite, unlimited, and uncontrollable, and so not resistible by finite creatures, at least not so as to be stopped and overcome.
