Job 11:14

if ¹  iniquity is in your hand – put it far away, ²  and do not let evil reside in your tents.

Job 4:7; Job 22:5; Job 22:23; Job 34:32; Ps 101:2; Isa 1:15; Eze 18:30,31; Zec 5:3,4; Jas 4:8

¹ tn Verse 14 should be taken as a parenthesis and not a continuation of the protasis, because it does not fit with v. 13 in that way (D. J. A. Clines, Job [WBC], 256).

² tn Many commentators follow the Vulgate and read the line “if you put away the sin that is in your hand.” They do this because the imperative comes between the protasis (v. 13) and the apodosis (v. 15) and does not appear to be clearly part of the protasis. The idea is close to the MT, but the MT is much more forceful – if you find sin in your hand, get rid of it.
