Job 33:1

Context
Elihu Invites Job’s Attention

33:1 “But now, O Job, listen to my words,

and hear 1  everything I have to say! 2 

Job 41:11

Context

41:11 (Who has confronted 3  me that I should repay? 4 

Everything under heaven belongs to me!) 5 

1 tn Heb “give ear,” the Hiphil denominative verb from “ear.”

2 tn Heb “hear all my words.”

3 tn The verb קָדַם (qadam) means “to come to meet; to come before; to confront” to the face.

4 sn The verse seems an intrusion (and so E. Dhorme, H. H. Rowley, and many others change the pronouns to make it refer to the animal). But what the text is saying is that it is more dangerous to confront God than to confront this animal.

5 tn This line also focuses on the sovereign God rather than Leviathan. H. H. Rowley, however, wants to change לִי־חוּא (li-hu’, “it [belongs] to me”) into לֹא הוּא (lohu’, “there is no one”). So it would say that there is no one under the whole heaven who could challenge Leviathan and live, rather than saying it is more dangerous to challenge God to make him repay.
