Job 9:3

"If Job was to follow the Eliphaz's urging that he 'place his cause before God' (Job 5:8), the problem to be faced would be 'how'? Because God had tormented Job, an upright man, how, he reasoned, could any man stand righteous before God? Job then proceeded to answer his own question by stating that man cannot dispute (debate in. court case) with God and expect to win. When God later appeared to Job, Job found that to be true (Job 40:1-5; Job 42:2)" (Zuck pp. 46-47). Job asserts that God is simply too wise and powerful for. man to dispute with Him. The odds of winning such an argument would not even be once in. thousand times, and no one can challenge God and survive (Job 9:4).
