Footnotes
- 3 The word is literally “heart,” meaning a mind or understanding.
- 4 Because this line is repeated in 13:2, many commentators delete it from this verse (as does the ). The translates נֹפֵל (nofel) as “little,” and the “inferior.” Job is saying that he does not fall behind them in understanding.
- 5 Heb “With whom are not such things as these?” The point is that everyone knows the things that these friends have been saying—they are commonplace.
