Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 11 Heb “he drinks,” but coming after the question this clause may be subordinated.
  2. 12 The scorn or derision mentioned here is not against Job, but against God. Job scorns God so much, he must love it. So to reflect this idea, Gordis has translated it “blasphemy” (cf. ).
