Job 22:14

Thick clouds are a veil for him, so he does not see us, ¹  as he goes back and forth in the vault ²  of heaven.’ ³ 

Job 34:22; Ps 33:14; Ps 97:2; Ps 139:1,2,11,12; Jer 23:24; Lu 12:2,3

¹ tn Heb “and he does not see.” The implied object is “us.”

² sn The word is “circle; dome”; here it is the dome that covers the earth, beyond which God sits enthroned. A. B. Davidson (Job, 165) suggests “on the arch of heaven” that covers the earth.

³ sn The idea suggested here is that God is not only far off, but he is unconcerned as he strolls around heaven – this is what Eliphaz says Job means.
