Job 34:11

Context

34:11 For he repays a person for his work, 1 

and according to the conduct of a person,

he causes the consequences to find him. 2 

Job 37:13

Context

37:13 Whether it is for punishment 3  for his land,

or whether it is for mercy,

he causes it to find its mark. 4 

1 tn Heb “for the work of man, he [= God] repays him.”

2 tn Heb “he causes it to find him.” The text means that God will cause a man to find (or receive) the consequences of his actions.

3 tn Heb “rod,” i.e., a rod used for punishment.

4 tn This is interpretive; Heb “he makes find it.” The lightning could be what is intended here, for it finds its mark. But R. Gordis (Job, 429) suggests man is the subject – let him find what it is for, i.e., the fate appropriate for him.
