39 The fact that Job will dare to come before God and make his case is evidence—to Job at least—that he is innocent.
40 The infinitive absolute intensifies the imperative, which serves here with the force of an immediate call to attention. In accordance with §113.n, the construction could be translated, “Keep listening” (so ESV).
41 The verb has to be supplied in this line, for the has “and my explanation in your ears.” In the verse, both “word” and “explanation” are Aramaisms (the latter appearing in Dan 5:12 for the explanation of riddles).
42 The particle הִנֵּה (hinneh) functions almost as an imperative here, calling attention to what follows: “look” (archaic: behold).
43 The verb עָרַךְ (’arakh) means “to set in order, set in array [as a battle], prepare” in the sense here of arrange and organize a lawsuit.
44 The pronoun is added because this is what the verse means.
45 The word מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat) usually means “judgment; decision.” Here it means “lawsuit” (and so a metonymy of effect gave rise to this usage; see Num 27:5; 2 Sam 15:4).
46 The pronoun is emphatic before the verb: “I know that it is I who am right.” The verb means “to be right; to be righteous.” Some have translated it “vindicated,” looking at the outcome of the suit.
