American Standard Version
"Ifwe speakof strength, lo, he ismighty! And if of justice, Who, saith he, will summon me? "
— Job 9:19, American Standard Version
“If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?”
“If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If of justice, 'Who,' says he, 'will summon me?'”
“If it is a matter of strength, most certainly he is the strong one! And if it is a matter of justice, he will say,‘Who will summon me?’”
“If strength be demanded, he is most strong: if equity of judgment, no man dare bear witness for me.”
“If it is a question of strength, he says, Here I am! and if it is a question of a cause at law, he says, Who will give me a fixed day?”
“If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?”
If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.
For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause.
He will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness.
Ifwe speakof strength, lo, he ismighty! And if of justice, Who, saith he, will summon me?
Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
I am perfect; I regard not myself; I despise my life.
It is all one; therefore I say, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
