“For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.”
Job asserts that God is not a man as he is, so that he might answer him and they might come together in judgment, expressing the fundamental asymmetry between God and humans that prevents dialogue. The inability to come together as equals in judgment means that Job has no recourse or appeal. The inequality between human and divine makes justice impossible.
