Ayub 18:21

18:21 ‘Surely such is the residence ¹  of an evil man;

and this is the place of one who has not known God.’” ² 

Ayub 36:12

36:12 But if they refuse to listen,

they pass over the river of death, ³ 

and expire without knowledge.

[18:21]  ¹ tn The term is in the plural, “the tabernacles”; it should be taken as a plural of local extension (see GKC 397 §124.b).

[18:21]  ² tn The word “place” is in construct; the clause following it replaces the genitive: “this is the place of – he has not known God.”

[36:12]  ³ tn This is a similar expression to the one in Job 33:18, where the suggestion was made by many that it means crossing over the canal or river of death. Some retain the earlier interpretation of “perish by the sword” (cf. NIV).
