Job 9:2

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?

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.
