Job 30:27

Context

30:27 My heart 1  is in turmoil 2  unceasingly; 3 

the days of my affliction confront me.

Job 36:8

Context

36:8 But if they are bound in chains, 4 

and held captive by the cords of affliction,

1 tn Heb “my loins,” “my bowels” (archaic), “my innermost being.” The latter option is reflected in the translation; some translations take the inner turmoil to be literal (NIV: “The churning inside me never stops”).

2 tn Heb “boils.”

3 tn The last clause reads “and they [it] are not quiet” or “do not cease.” The clause then serves adverbially for the sentence – “unceasingly.”

4 tn Dhorme thinks that the verse is still talking about kings, who may be in captivity. But this diverts attention from Elihu’s emphasis on the righteous.
