Job 8:20

Context

8:20 “Surely, God does not reject a blameless man, 1 

nor does he grasp the hand 2 

of the evildoers.

Job 27:13

Context

27:13 This is the portion of the wicked man

allotted by God, 3 

the inheritance that evildoers receive

from the Almighty.

1 sn This is the description that the book gave to Job at the outset, a description that he deserved according to God’s revelation. The theme “God will not reject the blameless man” becomes Job’s main point (see 9:20,21; 10:3).

2 sn The idiom “to grasp the hand” of someone means to support or help the person.

3 tn The expression “allotted by God” interprets the simple prepositional phrase in the text: “with/from God.”
