Footnotes
- 1 Some commentators transpose this verse with the following paragraph, placing it after v. 7 (see E. Dhorme, Job, 62). But the reasons for this are based on the perceived development of the argument and are not that compelling. The imperative is here a challenge for Job. If he makes his appeal against God, who is there who will listen? The rhetorical questions are intended to indicate that no one will respond, not even the angels. Job would do better to realize that he is guilty and his only hope is in God.
- 2 The participle with the suffix could be given a more immediate translation to accompany the imperative: “Call now! Is anyone listening to you?”
- 3 The has rendered “holy ones” as “holy angels” (cf. , , ). The has interpreted the verb in the colon too freely: “if you will see.”
- 4 The point being made is that the angels do not represent the cries of people to God as if mediating for them. But if Job appealed to any of them to take his case against God, there would be no response whatsoever for that.
