28:22 Destruction 1 and Death say,
‘With our ears we have heard a rumor about where it can be found.’ 2
42:5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,
but now my eye has seen you. 3
1 tn Heb “Abaddon.”
2 tn Heb “heard a report of it,” which means a report of its location, thus “where it can be found.”
3 sn This statement does not imply there was a vision. He is simply saying that this experience of God was real and personal. In the past his knowledge of God was what he had heard – hearsay. This was real.
