Job 30:9

Context
Job’s Indignities

30:9 “And now I have become their taunt song;

I have become a byword 1  among them.

Job 36:24

Context

36:24 Remember to extol 2  his work,

which people have praised in song.

1 tn The idea is that Job has become proverbial, people think of misfortune and sin when they think of him. The statement uses the ordinary word for “word” (מִלָּה, millah), but in this context it means more: “proverb; byword.”

2 tn The expression is “that you extol,” serving as an object of the verb.
