Job 16:21
_ _ one — rather, “He” (God). “Oh, that He would plead for a man (namely, me) against God.” Job quaintly says, “God must support me against God; for He makes me to suffer, and He alone knows me to be innocent” [Umbreit]. So God helped Jacob in wrestling against Himself (compare Job 23:6; Genesis 32:25). God in Jesus Christ does plead with God for man (Romans 8:26, Romans 8:27).
_ _ as a man — literally, “the Son of man.” A prefiguring of the advocacy of Jesus Christ — a boon longed for by Job (Job 9:33), though the spiritual pregnancy of his own words, designed for all ages, was but little understood by him (Psalms 80:17).
_ _ for his neighbour — Hebrew, “friend.” Job himself (Job 42:8) pleaded as intercessor for his “friends,” though “his scorners” (Job 16:20); so Jesus Christ the Son of man (Luke 23:34); “for friends” (John 15:13-15). |
Job 16:21

(x) Thus by his great torments he is carried away, and breaks out into passions, and speaks unadvisedly, as though God would intreat man more gently, seeing he has only a short time here to live. |
