1 Samuel 12:7

12:7 Now take your positions, so I may confront you ¹  before the Lord regarding all the Lord’s just actions toward you and your ancestors. ² 

Ayub 22:4

22:4 Is it because of your piety ³  that he rebukes you

and goes to judgment with you? ⁴ 

[12:7]  ¹ tn Heb “and I will enter into judgment with you” (NRSV similar); NAB “and I shall arraign you.”

[12:7]  ² tn Heb “all the just actions which he has done with you and with your fathers.”

[22:4]  ³ tn The word “your fear” or “your piety” refers to Job’s reverence – it is his fear of God (thus a subjective genitive). When “fear” is used of religion, it includes faith and adoration on the positive side, fear and obedience on the negative.

[22:4]  ⁴ sn Of course the point is that God does not charge Job because he is righteous; the point is he must be unrighteous.
