Job 34:37

Context

34:37 For he adds transgression 1  to his sin;

in our midst he claps his hands, 2 

and multiplies his words against God.”

1 tn Although frequently translated “rebellion,” the basic meaning of this Hebrew term is “transgression.”

2 tc If this reading stands, it would mean that Job shows contempt, meaning that he mocks them and accuses God. It is a bold touch, but workable. Of the many suggested emendations, Dhorme alters some of the vowels and obtains a reading “and casts doubt among us,” and then takes “transgression” from the first colon for the complement. Some commentators simply delete the line.
