Job study chapter

Job 9

patriarchal eraJob affirms God’s overwhelming power but despairs of any arbiter to plead between them.

Job agrees that no one can be righteous before God, whose power moves mountains, commands the stars, and does wonders beyond number. But this is his agony: God is so great and Job so small that he could never win a legal case against Him, even if he were in the right. He cries that there is “no arbiter between us, who might lay his hand on us both” — no mediator to bridge the gulf — voicing a longing only Christ will finally answer.
