Job 9:32
For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.
BSB
ASV
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment.
KJV
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
For He is not a man, such as I am, that I should answer Him, or that He can be heard with me in Judgment on an equal footing. When we 'contend with another in judgment on an equal footing,' we both learn what is urged against us, and in all we allege we are heard, and in proportion as we apprehend the points openly objected, we reply with boldness to the points propounded. In this way forasmuch as the invisible Judge sees all that we do, it is as if He hears things that we say.

“Because I, the LORD, do not change, you descendants of Jacob have not been destroyed.
Thus by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be strongly encouraged.
in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

Romans 9:20But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to Him who formed it, “Why did You make me like this?”

You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of…

But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the potter; we are all the work of Your hand.
Reached by 2 independent paths from here.
Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker—one clay pot among many. Does the clay ask the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘He has no hands’?
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
