Job 9
so in this chapter
he seems to be in awe of God and that he is fearful ,
So much that he isnt want to question him
God is perfect and Just and other side him ..unperfected and deserved more than his current suffering
This time he wasnt justifying abt himself to his other friend
he seems to feel guilty
I become afraid of all my suffering,
for I know you will not hold me innocent
can see how this is really humbling him
Job agrees that God is a just God and judges rightly (Job 8:3) and to answer Job's question in verse 2 when he asks, "I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?", we can answer and say only through Jesus are we just with God
, as it says in Romans 3:24-26: "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus."
Job goes on to consider himself blameless, but knows he can't argue with God. It appears he has the wrong impression and understanding of God, as he says "It is all the same; that is why I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’" I'm sure that with all that he was going through, he said a lot in bitterness, and as I pointed out before, in chapter 42:3, Job says, "...Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know."
Also, he asks for a "middle man" between him and God in verse 33-34, which we later find out is Elihu from chapter 32 and on (as I recorded in my older notes). (Compare Job 9:32 and Job 33:6)
