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
Common English Bible
32 God is not a man like me—someone I could answer—
so that we could come together in court.
33 Oh, that[a] there were a mediator between us;
he would lay his hand on both of us,
34 remove his rod from me,
so his fury wouldn’t frighten me.
35 Then I would speak—unafraid—
for I’m not that way.
