Footnotes
- 25 R. Gordis (Job, 294) identifies this as a breviloquence. Compare Ps 92:8 where the last two words also constitute the apodosis.
- 26 Heb “will not be satisfied with bread/food.”
- 27 The text says “will be buried in/by death.” A number of passages in the Bible use “death” to mean the plague that kills (see Jer 15:2; Isa 28:3; and 89 בְּ 2.a). In this sense it is like the English expression for the plague, “the Black Death.”
- 28 The has “their widows” to match the plural, and most commentators harmonize in the same way.
