Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 23:6

6. Will he plead against me with his great power ? No, but he would put strength in me .

i. e. Oppress me with his soveraign and absolute Power, as men do those whom they cannot fairly and justly conquer?

The word Strength, or Power, being fitly supplied out of the former branch of the Verse, as is very usual in Scripture. He would not use his power against me, but for me; by enabling me to plead my Cause, and giving Sentence according to that Clemency and Benignity, which, according to his gracious Covenant he useth towards his Children. Or, He would put or sit his heart (this very Verb of putting, or setting, being elsewhere used in this defective manner, for putting or setting the Heart, as Iob. 7. 17. Isa. 41. 10. as it is fully expressed, Isa. 57. 1. Ezek. 40. 4. & 44. 5.) upon (the Preposition Beth, in, being sometimes used for al, upon, as Neh. 2. 12. Isa. 21. 13.) me, to wit, to hear me and all my reasons meekly, and to judge favourably, and to help and deliver me, as that and the like Phrases commonly signifie in Scripture use.
