    In Job 36:19, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in a question contrasting a cry for help with strength in the setting of distress. The APB renders the verse, “Will your cry for help avail to keep you from distress, or all the force of your strength?”; It does not isolate the term with a specific English equivalent.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Job 36:19, the APB presents the verse as a question about help, distress, and strength, but its loose wording does not identify a distinct English rendering for this term.
