Footnotes

  1. 56 Heb “is it from with you,” an idiomatic expression meaning “to suit you” or “according to your judgment.”
  2. 57 Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 58 There is no object on the verb, and the meaning is perhaps lost. The best guess is that Elihu is saying Job has rejected his teaching.
