Job 34:3

Context

34:3 For the ear assesses 1  words

as the mouth 2  tastes food.

Job 38:2

Context

38:2 “Who is this 3  who darkens counsel 4 

with words without knowledge?

1 tn Or “examines; tests; tries; discerns.”

2 tn Or “palate”; the Hebrew term refers to the tongue or to the mouth in general.

3 tn The demonstrative pronoun is used here to emphasize the interrogative pronoun (see GKC 442 §136.c).

4 sn The referent of “counsel” here is not the debate between Job and the friends, but the purposes of God (see Ps 33:10; Prov 19:21; Isa 19:17). Dhorme translates it “Providence.”
