Job 12:6

Context

12:6 But 1  the tents of robbers are peaceful,

and those who provoke God are confident 2 

who carry their god in their hands. 3 

Job 21:28

Context

21:28 For you say,

‘Where now is the nobleman’s house, 4 

and where are the tents in which the wicked lived?’ 5 

1 tn The verse gives the other side of the coin now, the fact that the wicked prosper.

2 tn The plural is used to suggest the supreme degree of arrogant confidence (E. Dhorme, Job, 171).

3 sn The line is perhaps best understood as describing one who thinks he is invested with the power of God.

4 sn The question implies the answer will be “vanished” or “gone.”

5 tn Heb “And where is the tent, the dwellings of the wicked.” The word “dwellings of the wicked” is in apposition to “tent.” A relative pronoun must be supplied in the translation.
