    The adjective describes the conspiracy that became strong in 2 Samuel 15:12, a person strong of heart in Amos 2:16, and the powerful figure associated with a devastating flood in Isaiah 28:2. In Job 9:4 and Job 9:19, the APB renders clauses concerning strength and might; Isaiah 40:26 places the term in the clause rendered "strong in power."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the surrounding clauses with "strong," "mighty," and "strong in power." These renderings show the verses' presentation of strength rather than establish separate meanings.
