Job 9:32-35

32“He is not a mere mortal like me that I might answer him, that we might confront each other in court.

33If only there were someone to mediate between us, someone to bring us together,

34someone to remove God’s rod from me, so that his terror would frighten me no more. 35Then I would speak up without fear of him, but as it now stands with me, I cannot.
