Job 21:15

Context

21:15 Who is the Almighty, that 1  we should serve him?

What would we gain

if we were to pray 2  to him?’ 3 

Job 36:11

Context

36:11 If they obey and serve him,

they live out their days in prosperity

and their years in pleasantness. 4 

1 tn The interrogative clause is followed by ki, similar to Exod 5:2, “Who is Yahweh, that I should obey him?”

2 tn The verb פָּגַע (paga’) means “to encounter; to meet,” but also “to meet with request; to intercede; to interpose.” The latter meaning is a derived meaning by usage.

3 tn The verse is not present in the LXX. It may be that it was considered too blasphemous and therefore omitted.

4 tc Some commentators delete this last line for metrical considerations. But there is no textual evidence for the deletion; it is simply the attempt by some to make the meter rigid.
