Verse 16 is found in chapter 9 of Job. Job develops the image of a God whose strength no mortal can resist. If he attempted to present his case before God, he fears that even his own defense would be ineffective. The tension is not a denial of divine justice, but a question of how that justice can be affirmed when personal experience seems to contradict it.
