Job 23:6 - Exposition

Will he plead against me with his great power? rather, Would he contend against me in the greatness of his power? (see the Revised Version). That is, "Would he crush me by mere strength and force? Would he use against me that overwhelming might which he possesses? No, Job answers, certainly not; but he would put strength in me; or, rather, but he would give heed to me ' he would pay attention to my cause (comp. Job 4:20 , ad fin; where the same verb is used).
