Job 25:6

Context

25:6 how much less a mortal man, who is but a maggot 1 

a son of man, who is only a worm!”

Job 27:17

Context

27:17 what he stores up 2  a righteous man will wear,

and an innocent man will inherit his silver.

1 tn The text just has “maggot” and in the second half “worm.” Something has to be added to make it a bit clearer. The terms “maggot” and “worm” describe man in his lowest and most ignominious shape.

2 tn The text simply repeats the verb from the last clause. It could be treated as a separate short clause: “He may store it up, but the righteous will wear it. But it also could be understood as the object of the following verb, “[what] he stores up the righteous will wear.” The LXX simply has, “All these things shall the righteous gain.”
