Job 9:34 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 9:34

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.
