Connecting Statement:

Job continues speaking.

But he is one of a kind, who can turn him back?

Job uses this question to emphasize that there is no one like God and no one can force him to change. AT: "But there is no one like him, and nobody can make him change his mind." or "But he alone is God, and no one can influence him." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)

What he desires, he does

"He does whatever he wants to do"

he carries out his decree against me

"he is doing to me what he said he would do"

there are many like them

"he has many similar plans for me"
