their portion of the land is cursed
so that no one goes to their vineyard.36
Footnotes
- 32 Many commentators find vv. 18–24 difficult on the lips of Job, and so identify this unit as a misplaced part of the speech of Zophar. They describe the enormities of the wicked. But a case can also be made for retaining it in this section. Gordis thinks it could be taken as a quotation by Job of his friends’ ideas.
- 33 The verb “say” is not in the text; it is supplied here to indicate that this is a different section.
- 34 Or “is swift.”
- 35 The wicked person is described here as a spray or foam upon the waters, built up in the agitation of the waters but dying away swiftly.
- 36 The text reads, “he does not turn by the way of the vineyards.” This means that since the land is cursed, he/one does not go there. Bickell emended “the way of the vineyards” to “the treader of the vineyard” (see , ). This would mean that “no wine-presser would turn towards” their vineyards.
