Footnotes

  1. 36 The form in the is “your cry (for help).” See J. E. Hartley (Job [], ) and E. Dhorme (Job, 547–48) on the difficulties.
  2. 37 This part has only two words לֹא בְצָר (lo’ bétsar, “not in distress”). The negated phrase serves to explain the first colon.
  3. 38 For the many suggestions and the reasoning here, see the commentaries.
