Job 20:26

Context

20:26 Total darkness waits to receive his treasures; 1 

a fire which has not been kindled 2 

will consume him

and devour what is left in his tent.

1 tn Heb “all darkness is hidden for his laid up things.” “All darkness” refers to the misfortunes and afflictions that await. The verb “hidden” means “is destined for.”

2 tn Heb “not blown upon,” i.e., not kindled by man. But G. R. Driver reads “unquenched” (“Hebrew notes on the ‘Wisdom of Jesus Ben Sirach’,” JBL 53 [1934]: 289).
