Job 21:25

21:25 And another man dies in bitterness of soul,

never having tasted anything good.


tn The expression “this (v. 23)…and this” (v. 25) means “one…the other.”

tn The text literally has “and this [man] dies in soul of bitterness.” Some simply reverse it and translate “in the bitterness of soul.” The genitive “bitterness” may be an attribute adjective, “with a bitter soul.”

tn Heb “eaten what is good.” It means he died without having enjoyed the good life.
