Job 21:25

Context

21:25 And another man 1  dies in bitterness of soul, 2 

never having tasted 3  anything good.

Job 30:26

Context

30:26 But when I hoped for good, trouble came;

when I expected light, then darkness came.

1 tn The expression “this (v. 23)…and this” (v. 25) means “one…the other.”

2 tn The text literally has “and this [man] dies in soul of bitterness.” Some simply reverse it and translate “in the bitterness of soul.” The genitive “bitterness” may be an attribute adjective, “with a bitter soul.”

3 tn Heb “eaten what is good.” It means he died without having enjoyed the good life.
