Exegesis
The condition is expressed compactly in im-bōʾ {אִם־בֹּא | ʾim-bōʾ} ‘if you go/come’, followed by a rapid sequence of imperatives, ʿăśēh ḥăzaq {עֲשֵׂה חֲזַק | ʿăśēh ḥăzaq} ‘act, be strong’, which intensifies the exhortation and places responsibility on the hearer.
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:8
But if you go, act; be strong for the battle . God will cause you to stumble before the enemy, for there is power in God to help and to cause to stumble.
