Job 22:14

Context

22:14 Thick clouds are a veil for him, so he does not see us, 1 

as he goes back and forth

in the vault 2  of heaven.’ 3 

1 tn Heb “and he does not see.” The implied object is “us.”

2 sn The word is “circle; dome”; here it is the dome that covers the earth, beyond which God sits enthroned. A. B. Davidson (Job, 165) suggests “on the arch of heaven” that covers the earth.

3 sn The idea suggested here is that God is not only far off, but he is unconcerned as he strolls around heaven – this is what Eliphaz says Job means.
