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 31:15

Context

31:15 Did not the one who made me in the womb make them? 3 

Did not the same one form us in the womb?

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 “him,” but the plural pronoun has been used in the translation to indicate that the referent is the servants mentioned in v. 13 (since the previous “him” in v. 14 refers to God).
