Job 28:8

Context

28:8 Proud beasts 1  have not set foot on it,

and no lion has passed along it.

Job 38:5

Context

38:5 Who set its measurements – if 2  you know –

or who stretched a measuring line across it?

1 tn Heb “the sons of pride.” In Job 41:26 the expression refers to carnivorous wild beasts.

2 tn The particle כּ (ki) is taken here for a conditional clause, “if you know” (see GKC 498 §159.dd). Others take it as “surely” with a biting irony.
