40:5 I have spoken once, but I cannot answer;
twice, but I will say no more.” 1
40:8 Would you indeed annul 2 my justice?
Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right?
1 tn Heb “I will not add.”
2 tn The verb פָּרַר (parar) means “to annul; to break; to frustrate.” It was one thing for Job to claim his own integrity, but it was another matter altogether to nullify God’s righteousness in the process.
