“Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.”
Job wishes there were an arbiter between him and God, someone who might lay a hand on both and so make discourse possible. The wish for a mediator who could create equality reveals Job's longing for conditions under which genuine dialogue might occur. Yet such a mediator does not exist, leaving Job isolated and unheard.
