Footnotes

  1. 34 Elihu now will give another reason why he will speak—the arguments of these friends failed miserably. But before he gets to his argument, he will first qualify his authority.
  2. 35 The verb חַתּוּ (khattu) is from חָתַת (khatat) which means “to be terrified.” But here it stresses the resulting dilemma. R. Gordis (Job, 369) renders it, “they are shattered, beaten in an argument.”
  3. 36tn Heb “words have moved away from them,” meaning words are gone from them, they have nothing left to say.
