Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 4 The normal approach is to take this as the protasis, and then have it resumed in v. 7 after a parenthesis in v. 6. But some take v. 6 as the apodosis and a new protasis in v. 7.
  2. 5 The “if” is understood by the use of the consecutive verb.
  3. 6 The verbs “walk” and “hasten” (referring in the verse to the foot) are used metaphorically for the manner of life Job lived.
