Job 9:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 9:1

Job 9:1 In-Context

1 Job continued by saying:
2 "So what's new? I know all this. The question is, 'How can mere mortals get right with God?'
3 If we wanted to bring our case before him, what chance would we have? Not one in a thousand!
4 God's wisdom is so deep, God's power so immense, who could take him on and come out in one piece?
5 He moves mountains before they know what's happened, flips them on their heads on a whim.
