Job: There Is No Mediator

1 Then Job answered and said:
2 “Truly I know it is so,
But how can a aman be brighteous before God? 
3 If one wished to1 contend with Him,
He could not answer Him one time out of a thousand. 
4 aGod is wise in heart and mighty in strength.
Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered? 
5 He removes the mountains, and they do not know
When He overturns them in His anger;
6 He ashakes the earth out of its place,
And its bpillars tremble; 
7 He commands the sun, and it does not rise;
He seals off the stars;
8 aHe alone spreads out the heavens,
And1 treads on the waves of the sea; 
9 aHe made1 the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,
And the chambers of the south; 
10 aHe does great things past finding out,
Yes, wonders without number. 
11 aIf He goes by me, I do not see Him;
If He moves past, I do not perceive Him; 
12 aIf He takes away,1 who can hinder Him?
Who can say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’

What Does Job 9:2 Mean?



Job 9:2-3

Who can call God into account for His judgment of a person? Such a thought is ridiculous. God knows everything. Job had the spiritual insight and the humility to understand that, in reality, neither he nor anybody else could ever call God into account for any judgment He made, for all of God's judgments are righteous. Who, then, can argue with Him, accusing, "God, you were wrong. These are the facts"? Nobody.
