“that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!”
“and he contends with God on behalf of man as a man pleads for his friend.”

“So that he may give decision for a man in his cause with God, and between a son of man and his neighbour.”
“O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!”
These things I have endured without iniquity in my hand, while I held pure prayers before God.
O earth, do not conceal my blood, nor let my outcry find a hiding place in you.
For behold, my witness is in heaven, and my confidante is on high.
My friends are full of words; my eye rains tears upon God.
And I wish that a man might be so judged before God, just as the son of man is judged with his assistant!
For behold, a few years pass by, and I am walking a path by which I will not return.
