Job 29:1

Then Job continued ²  his speech:

And Job again took up his discourse and said,

Job continued speaking:

Job now resumed his response:

And Job again took up the word and said,

Job again took up his discourse and said:

Job further continued his discourse, and said:

Then Job continued ²  his speech:

¹ sn Now that the debate with his friends is over, Job concludes with a soliloquy, just as he had begun with one. Here he does not take into account his friends or their arguments. The speech has three main sections: Job’s review of his former circumstances (29:1-25); Job’s present misery (30:1-31); and Job’s vindication of his life (31:1-40).

² tn The verse uses a verbal hendiadys: “and he added (וַיֹּסֶף, vayyosef)…to raise (שְׂאֵת, sÿ’et) his speech.” The expression means that he continued, or he spoke again.
