Footnotes

  1. 4 The word “your fear” or “your piety” refers to Job’s reverence—it is his fear of God (thus a subjective genitive). When “fear” is used of religion, it includes faith and adoration on the positive side, fear and obedience on the negative.
  2. 5 Of course the point is that God does not charge Job because he is righteous; the point is he must be unrighteous.
