Job 20:6

Context

20:6 Even though his stature 1  reaches to the heavens

and his head touches the clouds,

Job 28:5

Context

28:5 The earth, from which food comes,

is overturned below as though by fire; 2 

1 tn The word שִׂיא (si’) has been connected with the verb נָשָׂא (nasa’, “to lift up”), and so interpreted here as “pride.” The form is parallel to “head” in the next part, and so here it refers to his stature, the part that rises up and is crowned. But the verse does describe the pride of such a person, with his head in the heavens.

2 sn The verse has been properly understood, on the whole, as comparing the earth above and all its produce with the upheaval down below.
