9:19If it is a matter of strength,56
most certainly57 he is the strong one!
And if it is a matter of justice,
he will say, ‘Who will summon me?’58
Footnotes
- 56 The has only “if of strength.”
- 57 “Most certainly” translates the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh).
- 58 The question could be taken as “who will summon me?” (see Jer 49:19 and 50:44). This does not make immediate sense. Some have simply changed the suffix to “who will summon him.” If the is retained, then supplying something like “he will say” could make the last clause fit the whole passage. Another option is to take it as “Who will reveal it to me?”—i.e., Job could be questioning his friends’ qualifications for being God’s emissaries to bring God’s charges against him (cf. , ; and see 10:2 where Job uses the same verb in the Hiphil to request that God reveal what his sin has been that has led to his suffering). Job is saying that whether it is a trial of strength or an appeal to justice, he is unable to go against God.
