Job 39:16

Context

39:16 She is harsh 1  with her young,

as if they were not hers;

she is unconcerned

about the uselessness of her labor.

Job 39:18

Context

39:18 But as soon as she springs up, 2 

she laughs at the horse and its rider.

1 sn This verb, “to deal harshly; to harden; to treat cruelly,” is used for hardening the heart elsewhere (see Isa 63:17).

2 tn The colon poses a slight problem here. The literal meaning of the Hebrew verb translated “springs up” (i.e., “lifts herself on high”) might suggest flight. But some of the proposals involve a reading about readying herself to run.
