Quotation for Avodah Zarah 7:4

רב חיננא בר פפא רמי כתיב (איוב לז, כג) שדי לא מצאנוהו שגיא כח וכתיב (תהלים קמז, ה) גדול אדונינו ורב כח וכתיב (שמות טו, ו) ימינך ה' נאדרי בכח לא קשיא כאן בשעת הדין כאן בשעת מלחמה

R. Hinena b. Papa pointed to the following contradiction: Scripture says, “Shaddai—we have not found the greatness of his power” (Job 37:23), yet it is written, “Great is our Lord and of abundant power” (Psalms 147:5) and it is also written, “Your right hand, O Lord, is glorious in power!” (Exodus 15:6). There is no contradiction: the former refers to the time of judgment, the latter refers to a time of war.
