Job 9:32

Context

9:32 For he 1  is not a human being like I am,

that 2  I might answer him,

that we might come 3  together in judgment.

Job 26:14

Context

26:14 Indeed, these are but the outer fringes of his ways! 4 

How faint is the whisper 5  we hear of him!

But who can understand the thunder of his power?”

Job 37:23

Context

37:23 As for the Almighty, 6  we cannot attain to him!

He is great in power,

but justice 7  and abundant righteousness he does not oppress.

1 tn The personal pronoun that would be expected as the subject of a noun clause is sometimes omitted (see GKC 360 §116.s). Here it has been supplied.

2 tn The consecutive clause is here attached without the use of the ו (vav), but only by simple juxtaposition (see GKC 504-5 §166.a).

3 tn The sense of the verb “come” with “together in judgment” means “to confront one another in court.” See Ps 143:2.

4 tn Heb “the ends of his ways,” meaning “the fringes.”

5 tn Heb “how little is the word.” Here “little” means a “fraction” or an “echo.”

6 tn The name “Almighty” is here a casus pendens, isolating the name at the front of the sentence and resuming it with a pronoun.

7 tn The MT places the major disjunctive accent (the atnach) under “power,” indicating that “and justice” as a disjunctive clause starting the second half of the verse (with ESV, NASB, NIV, NLT). Ignoring the Masoretic accent, NRSV has “he is great in power and justice.”
