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;

Job 9:2-3

Who is going to call God into account for His judgment of somebody? It is ridiculous. God knows everything. Job had the spiritual insight and the humility to understand that in reality neither he nor anybody could ever call God into account for any judgment that He gives because all of God's judgments are righteous judgments. Who then can argue with God and say, "God, you were wrong. These are my facts"? Nobody can do it.
