Holy Scripture
Job 9:33
A church father on this verse
“This is what he means, if he who punishes were a man, his punishment would not have entirely condemned the one in affliction. I could have been judged before him and proved that he too is unjust. But since you are God, that is impossible. It is sufficient to be punished and to suffer the greatest condemnation.”

33Would that he our mediator were present, and a reprover, And one who should hear the cause between both.

In context
31Thou hadst thoroughly plunged me in filth, And my garment had abhorred me.
32For thou art not man like me, with whom I could contend, That we might come together to judgment.
— Job 9:33 —
34Let him remove his rod from me, And let not his fear terrify me:
35So shall I not be afraid, but I will speak: For I am not thus conscious of guilt.
