Job 29:20

29:20 My glory will always be fresh in me,

and my bow ever new in my hand.’

Job 40:10

40:10 Adorn yourself, then, with majesty and excellency,

and clothe yourself with glory and honor!


tn The word is “my glory,” meaning his high respect and his honor. Hoffmann proposed to read כִּידוֹן (kidon) instead, meaning “javelin” (as in 1 Sam 17:6), to match the parallelism (RQ 3 [1961/62]: 388). But the parallelism does not need to be so tight.

tn Heb “new.”
