Ayub 20:7

20:7 he will perish forever, like his own excrement; ¹ 

those who used to see him will say, ‘Where is he?’

Ayub 36:18

36:18 Be careful that ²  no one entices you with riches;

do not let a large bribe ³  turn you aside.

[20:7]  ¹ tn There have been attempts to change the word here to “like a whirlwind,” or something similar. But many argue that there is no reason to remove a coarse expression from Zophar.

[36:18]  ² tn The first expression is idiomatic: the text says, “because wrath lest it entice you” – thus, beware.

[36:18]  ³ tn The word is כֹּפֶר (kofer), often translated “ransom,” but frequently in the sense of a bribe.
