Footnotes

  1. 48 Here Job changes the metaphor again, to the driving storm. God has sent his storms, and Job is blown away.
  2. 49 The verb means “to melt.” The imagery would suggest softening the ground with the showers (see Ps 65:10 [11]). The translation “toss … about” comes from the Arabic cognate that is used for the surging of the sea.
  3. 50 The Qere is תּוּשִׁיָּה (tushiyyah, “counsel”), which makes no sense here. The Kethib is a variant orthography for תְּשֻׁאָה (téshu’ah, “storm”).
