Job 4:11

Context

4:11 The mighty lion 1  perishes 2  for lack of prey,

and the cubs of the lioness 3  are scattered.

Job 24:7-8

Context

24:7 They spend the night naked because they lack clothing;

they have no covering against the cold.

24:8 They are soaked by mountain rains

and huddle 4  in the rocks because they lack shelter.

1 tn The word לַיִשׁ (layish) traditionally rendered “strong lion,” occurs only here and in Prov 30:30 and Isa 30:6. It has cognates in several of the Semitic languages, and so seems to indicate lion as king of the beasts.

2 tn The form of the verb is the Qal active participle; it stresses the characteristic action of the verb as if a standard universal truth.

3 tn The text literally has “sons of the lioness.”

4 tn Heb “embrace” or “hug.”
