This is a wonderful passage. Job wanted someone, like a lawyer, to help him to speak to God.

These verses describe Jesus’ work (1 Timothy 2:5). Jesus is God (Hebrews 1:3). But he became a man (Hebrews 2:14). He suffered like us (Hebrews 2:18). He is the great priest who helps us to meet God (Hebrews 4:15-16).

Job lived centuries before Jesus was born. But even while Job was suffering, God was teaching Job about Jesus’ work.

The books of the Bible are not the result of the authors’ imagination. God showed them these things by his Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20-21).
