Job 34:26

He strikes them for their wickedness, ¹  in a place where people can see, ² 

Ex 14:30; De 13:9-11; De 21:21; 2Sa 12:11,12; Ps 58:10,11; Isa 66:24; 1Ti 5:20,24; Re 18:9,10,20

¹ tn Heb “under wicked men,” or “under wickednesses.” J. C. Greenfield shows that the preposition can mean “among” as well (“Prepositions B Tachat in Jes 57:5,” ZAW 32 [1961]: 227). That would allow “among wicked men.” It could also be “instead of” or even “in return for [their wickedness]” which is what the RSV does.

² tn The text simply uses רֹאִים (ro’im): “[in the place where there are] seers,” i.e., spectators.
