job 9:19 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?

job 9:19 "If [it is a matter] of power, behold, [He is] the strong one! And if [it is a matter] of justice, who can summon Him?

19. UMBREIT takes these as the words of God, translating, "What availeth the might of the strong?" "Here (saith he) behold! what availeth justice? Who will appoint me a time to plead?" (So Jer 49:19). The last words certainly apply better to God than to Job. The sense is substantially the same if we make "me" apply to Job. The "lo!" expresses God's swift readiness for battle when challenged.

job 9:19 "If [it is a matter] of power, behold, [He is] the strong one! And if [it is a matter] of justice, who can summon Him?
