Job 9:32-35
New International Version
32 “He is not a mere mortal(A) like me that I might answer him,(B)
that we might confront each other in court.(C)
33 If only there were someone to mediate between us,(D)
someone to bring us together,(E)
34 someone to remove God’s rod from me,(F)
so that his terror would frighten me no more.(G)
35 Then I would speak up without fear of him,(H)
but as it now stands with me, I cannot.(I)
Job 9:32-35
International Standard Version
32 He’s not a man like me,
so that I can answer him,
or that we can enter into litigation[a] with one another.
33 There is not yet a mediator between us,
who would set his hand on the two of us,
34 removing his rod from me,
and not letting terror of him overwhelm me.
35 Otherwise, I would speak without being terrified of him,
because I’m not like that inside myself.”

Job 9:32-35
King James Version
32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
