Job 9:33

Compare all

31 Yet You will plunge me into the pit,
And my own clothes will¹ abhor me.

32 “For ^aHe is not a man, as I am,
That I may answer Him,
And that we should go to court together.

33 ^aNor is there any mediator between us,
Who may lay his hand on us both.

34 ^aLet Him take His rod away from me,
And do not let dread of Him terrify me.

35 Then I would speak and not fear Him,
But it is not so with me.

daysman—"mediator," or "umpire"; the imposition of whose hand expresses power to adjudicate between the persons. There might be one on a level with Job, the one party; but Job knew of none on a level with the Almighty, the other party (I Samuel 2:25). We Christians know of such a Mediator (not, however, in the sense of umpire) on a level with both—the God-man, Christ Jesus (I Timothy 2:5).
