Ayub 21:30

21:30 that the evil man is spared

from the day of his misfortune,

that he is delivered ¹ 

from the day of God’s wrath?

Ayub 27:15

27:15 Those who survive him are buried by the plague, ² 

and their ³  widows do not mourn for them.

[21:30]  ¹ tn The verb means “to be led forth.” To be “led forth in the day of trouble” means to be delivered.

[27:15]  ² tn The text says “will be buried in/by death.” A number of passages in the Bible use “death” to mean the plague that kills (see Jer 15:2; Isa 28:3; and BDB 89 s.v. בְּ 2.a). In this sense it is like the English expression for the plague, “the Black Death.”

[27:15]  ³ tc The LXX has “their widows” to match the plural, and most commentators harmonize in the same way.
