Job 34:28

Context

34:28 so that they caused 1  the cry of the poor

to come before him,

so that he hears 2  the cry of the needy.

Job 35:9

Context

35:9 “People 3  cry out

because of the excess of oppression; 4 

they cry out for help

because of the power 5  of the mighty. 6 

1 tn The verse begins with the infinitive construct of בּוֹא (bo’, “go”), showing the result of their impious actions.

2 tn The verb here is an imperfect; the clause is circumstantial to the preceding clause, showing either the result, or the concomitant action.

3 tn The word “people” is supplied, because the sentence only has the masculine plural verb.

4 tn The final noun is an abstract plural, “oppression.” There is no reason to change it to “oppressors” to fit the early versions. The expression is literally “multitude of oppression.”

5 tn Heb “the arm,” a metaphor for strength or power.

6 tn Or “of the many” (see HALOT 1172 s.v. I רַב 6.a).
