15:34 For the company of the godless is barren, 1
and fire 2 consumes the tents of those who accept bribes. 3
1 tn The LXX renders this line: “for death is the witness of an ungodly man. “Death” represents “barren/sterile,” and “witness” represents “assembly.”
2 sn This may refer to the fire that struck Job (cf. 1:16).
3 tn Heb “the tents of bribery.” The word “bribery” can mean a “gift,” but most often in the sense of a bribe in court. It indicates that the wealth and the possessions that the wicked man has gained may have been gained unjustly.
