Job 9:34
32 For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.
33 Nor is there a mediator between us, to lay his hand upon us both.
Let Him remove His rod from me, so that His terror will no longer frighten me.
35 Then I would speak without fear of Him. But as it is, I am on my own.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
