Footnotes
- 9 Hebrew גַּם (gam, “also; moreover”), in view of what has just been said.
- 10 The lamp or the light can have a number of uses in the Bible. Here it is probably an implied metaphor for prosperity and happiness, for the good life itself.
- 11 The expression is literally “the flame of his fire,” but the pronominal suffix qualifies the entire bound construction. The two words together intensify the idea of the flame.
- 12 The interprets a little more precisely: “his lamp shall be put out with him.” This thesis of Bildad will be questioned by Job in 21:17—how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out?
