Job 19:29

Context

19:29 Fear the sword yourselves,

for wrath 1  brings the punishment 2  by the sword,

so that you may know

that there is judgment.” 3 

Job 21:30

Context

21:30 that the evil man is spared

from the day of his misfortune,

that he is delivered 4 

from the day of God’s wrath?

1 tn The word “wrath” probably refers to divine wrath for the wicked. Many commentators change this word to read “they,” or more precisely, “these things.”

2 tn The word is “iniquities”; but here as elsewhere it should receive the classification of the punishment for iniquity (a category of meaning that developed from a metonymy of effect).

3 tc The last word is problematic because of the textual variants in the Hebrew. In place of שַׁדִּין (shaddin, “judgment”) some have proposed שַׁדַּי (shadday, “Almighty”) and read it “that you may know the Almighty” (Ewald, Wright). Some have read it יֵשׁ דַּיָּן (yesh dayyan, “there is a judge,” Gray, Fohrer). Others defend the traditional view, arguing that the שׁ (shin) is the abbreviated relative particle on the word דִּין (din, “judgment”).

4 tn The verb means “to be led forth.” To be “led forth in the day of trouble” means to be delivered.
