Job 28:8

28:8 Proud beasts ¹  have not set foot on it,

and no lion has passed along it.

Job 38:5

38:5 Who set its measurements – if ²  you know –

or who stretched a measuring line across it?

¹ tn Heb “the sons of pride.” In Job 41:26 the expression refers to carnivorous wild beasts.

² tn The particle כּ (ki) is taken here for a conditional clause, “if you know” (see GKC 498 §159.dd). Others take it as “surely” with a biting irony.
