Job 8:10

8:10 Will they not instruct you and speak to you,

and bring forth words

from their understanding?


tn The sentence begins emphatically: “Is it not they.”

tn The “and” is not present in the line. The second clause seems to be in apposition to the first, explaining it more thoroughly: “Is it not they [who] will instruct you, [who] will speak to you.”

tn The noun may have been left indeterminate for the sake of emphasis (GKC 401-2 §125.c), meaning “important words.”

tn Heb “from their heart.”
