Job 6:12

Context

6:12 Is my strength like that of stones? 1 

or is my flesh made of bronze?

Job 20:24

Context

20:24 If he flees from an iron weapon,

then an arrow 2  from a bronze bow pierces him.

Job 40:18

Context

40:18 Its bones are tubes of bronze,

its limbs like bars of iron.

1 sn The questions imply negative answers. Job is saying that it would take great strength to hold up under these afflictions, but he is only flesh and bone. The sufferings have almost completely overwhelmed him. To endure all of this to the end he would need a strength he does not have.

2 tn Heb “a bronze bow pierces him.” The words “an arrow from” are implied and are supplied in the translation; cf. “pulls it out” in the following verse.
