This chapter puts me in the mind of a verse from Isaac Watts' hymn 'Join all the glorious names' -
My Advocate appears
For my defense on high;
The Father bows His ears
And lays His thunder by.
Not all that hell or sin can say
Shall turn His heart, His love, away.
V 19-21 Job again mentions the need for a mediator, an advocate and a comforter in heaven who would plead his case before God the Father.
Job seemed to know that such a person existed making him a believer in Jesus Christ long before He came to earth.
I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
These are the summaries of the book of Job.
They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
