Job 33:6

“Behold, I [am] according to thy wish in God’s stead, etc.] So some persons are, as civil magistrates, the ministers of the word, the prophets of the Old Testament, and the apostles of the New; (see <470520>2 Corinthians 5:20); and so in some sense was Elihu; he undertakes to be an advocate for God, to vindicate his justice in his dealings with the children of men, and clear him from the charge of severity towards them, and hard usage of them, and particularly Job; and whom he besought, as in God’s stead, to be reconciled to his providential dealings with him; to bear his afflictions patiently, and wait the issue of them: or “I am as thou art”; so the Targum and Ben Gersom interpret it; one…”

So Noyes, “I, like thee, am a creature of God.” Wemyss, “I am thine equal in the sight of God.” Coverdale, “Behold, before God am I even as thou, for I am fashioned and made even of the same mould.” The Vulgate renders it, “Behold God made me as he made thee; and of the same clay am I formed.” So the Septuagint, “From clay am I formed as well as thou, and we are formed from the same.” This…”

“Behold - I will plead with thee in God's name and stead, which thou hast often wished, and I am God's creature like thyself. Job 33:9”

“I am: Job 9:32-35, Job 13:3, Job 20:22, Job 23:3, Job 23:4, Job 31:35 wish: Heb. mouth in: Gen 30:2; Exo 4:16; Co2 5:20 I also: Job 4:19, Job 10:9, Job 13:12; Gen 2:7, Gen 3:19; Co2 5:1 formed: Heb. cut Job 33:7”
