Job 27:6

27:6 I will maintain my righteousness

and never let it go;

my conscience ¹  will not reproach me

for as long as I live. ² 

Job 38:13

38:13 that it might seize the corners of the earth, ³ 

and shake the wicked out of it?

[27:6]  ¹ tn Heb “my heart.”

[27:6]  ² tn The prepositional phrase “from my days” probably means “from the days of my birth,” or “all my life.”

[38:13]  ³ sn The poetic image is that darkness or night is like a blanket that covers the earth, and at dawn it is taken by the edges and shaken out. Since the wicked function under the cover of night, they are included in the shaking when the dawn comes up.
