Footnotes

  1. 89 Heb “your seed.”
  2. 90 The word means “your shoots” and is parallel to “your seed” in the first colon. It refers here (as in Isa 34:1 and 42:5) to the produce of the earth. Some commentators suggest that Eliphaz seems to have forgotten or was insensitive to Job’s loss of his children; H. H. Rowley (Job [], 57) says his conventional theology is untouched by human feeling.
