Job 21:14

Context

21:14 So they say to God, ‘Turn away from us!

We do not want to 1  know your ways. 2 

Job 37:19

Context

37:19 Tell us what we should 3  say to him.

We cannot prepare a case 4 

because of the darkness.

1 tn The absence of the preposition before the complement adds greater vividness to the statement: “and knowing your ways – we do not desire.”

2 sn Contrast Ps 25:4, which affirms that walking in God’s ways means to obey God’s will – the Torah.

3 tn The imperfect verb here carries the obligatory nuance, “what we should say?”

4 tn The verb means “to arrange; to set in order.” From the context the idea of a legal case is included.
