Job 9:19
 Job 9:19 
New International Version (© 2011)
If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty! And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him?

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

American Standard Version
If we speak of strength, lo, he is mighty! And if of justice, Who,'saith he , will summon me?

Young's Literal Translation
If of power, lo, the Strong One; And if of judgment -- who doth convene me?

Job 9:19 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong - Human wisdom, power, and influence avail nothing before him.

Who shall set me a time - מי יועידני mi yoideni, "Who would be a witness for me?" or, Who would dare to appear in my behalf? Almost all the terms in this part of the speech of Job, Job 9:11-24, are forensic or juridical, and are taken from legal processes and pleadings in their gates or courts of justice.
