19Be it a question of strength, lo, he is strong; and be it of judgment, who will set me a time?


In Context

16 If I had called, and he had answered me, I would not believe that he hearkened to my voice, —

17 He, who crusheth me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

18 He suffereth me not to take my breath, for he filleth me with bitternesses.

19 Be it a question of strength, lo, he is strong; and be it of judgment, who will set me a time?

20 If I justified myself, mine own mouth would condemn me; were I perfect, he would prove me perverse.

21 Were I perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
