Job 9:19 Douay-Rheims

If strength be demanded, he is most strong: if equity of judgment, no man dare bear witness for me.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

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.
