Job 17:9

Context

17:9 But the righteous man holds to his way,

and the one with clean hands grows stronger. 1 

Job 18:6

Context

18:6 The light in his tent grows dark;

his lamp above him is extinguished. 2 

1 tn The last two words are the imperfect verb יֹסִיף (yosif) which means “he adds,” and the abstract noun “energy, strength.” This noun is not found elsewhere; its Piel verb occurs in Job 4:4 and 16:5. “he increases strength.”

2 tn The LXX interprets a little more precisely: “his lamp shall be put out with him.”

sn This thesis of Bildad will be questioned by Job in 21:17 – how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out?
