Job 5:16

Context

5:16 Thus the poor have hope,

and iniquity 1  shuts its mouth. 2 

Job 41:22

Context

41:22 Strength lodges in its neck,

and despair 3  runs before it.

1 tn Other translations render this “injustice” (NIV, NRSV, CEV) or “unrighteousness” (NASB).

2 tn The verse summarizes the result of God’s intervention in human affairs, according to Eliphaz’ idea that even-handed justice prevails. Ps 107:42 parallels v. 16b.

3 tn This word, דְּאָבָה (dÿavah) is a hapax legomenon. But the verbal root means “to languish; to pine.” A related noun talks of dejection and despair in Deut 28:65. So here “despair” as a translation is preferable to “terror.”
