Job 22:3

Context

22:3 Is it of any special benefit 1  to the Almighty

that you should be righteous,

or is it any gain to him

that you make your ways blameless? 2 

Job 24:13

Context

24:13 There are those 3  who rebel against the light;

they do not know its ways

and they do not stay on its paths.

Job 26:14

Context

26:14 Indeed, these are but the outer fringes of his ways! 4 

How faint is the whisper 5  we hear of him!

But who can understand the thunder of his power?”

1 tn The word חֵפֶץ (khefets) in this passage has the nuance of “special benefit; favor.” It does not just express the desire for something or the interest in it, but the profit one derives from it.

2 tn The verb תַתֵּם (tattem) is the Hiphil imperfect of תָּמַם (tamam, “be complete, finished”), following the Aramaic form of the geminate verb with a doubling of the first letter.

3 tn Heb “They are among those who.”

4 tn Heb “the ends of his ways,” meaning “the fringes.”

5 tn Heb “how little is the word.” Here “little” means a “fraction” or an “echo.”
