Footnotes

  1. 47 Now that the debate with his friends is over, Job concludes with a soliloquy, just as he had begun with one. Here he does not take into account his friends or their arguments. The speech has three main sections: Job’s review of his former circumstances (29:1–25); Job’s present misery (30:1–31); and Job’s vindication of his life (31:1–40).
  2. 1 The verse uses a verbal hendiadys: “and he added (וַיֹּסֶף, vayyosef) … to raise (שְׂאֵת, sé’et) his speech.” The expression means that he continued, or he spoke again.
