19:9 He has stripped me of my honor
and has taken the crown off my head. 1
40:10 Adorn yourself, then, with majesty and excellency,
and clothe yourself with glory and honor!
1 sn The images here are fairly common in the Bible. God has stripped away Job’s honorable reputation. The crown is the metaphor for the esteem and dignity he once had. See 29:14; Isa 61:3; see Ps 8:5 [6].
