Job 13:20

Context

13:20 Only in two things spare me, 1  O God, 2 

and then I will not hide from your face:

Job 16:18

Context
An Appeal to God as Witness

16:18 “O earth, do not cover my blood, 3 

nor let there be a secret 4  place for my cry.

1 tn The line reads “do not do two things.”

2 tn “God” is supplied to the verse, for the address is now to him. Job wishes to enter into dispute with God, but he first appeals that God not take advantage of him with his awesome power.

3 sn Job knows that he will die, and that his death, signified here by blood on the ground, will cry out for vindication.

4 tn The word is simply “a place,” but in the context it surely means a hidden place, a secret place that would never be discovered (see 18:21).
