“If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?”
Job asserts that if it is a contest of strength, God is strong, and if it is a matter of justice, who will summon God? expressing the conviction that God's superiority in both power and justice makes any appeal futile. The either-or structure—strength or justice—suggests that whatever the contest, God's dominance is assured. There is no basis on which Job can prevail.
