“O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!”
"That he would maintain the right of a man with God, and of a son of man with his neighbor!" Job wishes that someone—perhaps the heavenly witness, perhaps God himself—would defend human rights before God. The verse expresses a longing for mediation, for someone to restore just relations between humans and the divine, between humans and each other.
