Job 9:19 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

If I speak of strength If my cause were to be decided by power; he is strong Infinitely stronger than I; and if of judgment If I would contend with him in a way of right; who shall set, &c. There is no superior judge that can summon him and me together. Heath thus explains the words: “If I think to right myself by force, it is vain; for he is stronger than I: if I choose to decide our dispute by law, who hath authority to call us before him?”

Job 9:19

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