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.
