Job 34:28

1 sn In the next two chapters we have Job’s second reply to Eliphaz. Job now feels abandoned by God and by his friends, and so complains that this all intensifies his sufferings. But he still holds to his innocence as he continues his appeal to God as his witness. There are four sections to this speech: in vv. 2-5 he dismisses the consolation his friends offered; in vv. 6-17 he laments that he is abandoned by God and man; in 16:8-17:9 he makes his appeal to God in heaven as a witness; and finally, in 10-16 he anticipates death.

Job 34:29

2 tn The expression uses the Piel participle in construct: מְנַחֲמֵי עָמָל (mÿnahame ‘amal, “comforters of trouble”), i.e., comforters who increase trouble instead of relieving it. D. W. Thomas translates this “breathers out of trouble” (“A Note on the Hebrew Root naham,” ExpTim 44 [1932/33]: 192).

Job 34:30

3 tn Disjunctive questions are introduced with the sign of the interrogative; the second part is introduced with אוֹ (‘o, see GKC 475 §150.g).

4 tn In v. 3 the second person singular is employed rather than the plural as in vv. 2 and 4. The singular might be an indication that the words of v. 3 were directed at Eliphaz specifically.

5 tn Heb “words of wind.”

6 tn The Hiphil of מָרַץ (marats) does not occur anywhere else. The word means “to compel; to force” (see 6:25).

7 tn The LXX seems to have gone a different way: “What, is there any reason in vain words, or what will hinder you from answering?”

Job 34:31
