Ayub 25:4

25:4 How then can a human being be righteous before God?

How can one born of a woman be pure? ¹ 

Ayub 37:15

37:15 Do you know how God commands them, ² 

how he makes lightning flash in his storm cloud? ³ 

[25:4]  ¹ sn Bildad here does not come up with new expressions; rather, he simply uses what Eliphaz had said (see Job 4:17-19 and 15:14-16).

[37:15]  ² tn The verb is בְּשׂוּם (bÿsum, from שִׂים [sim, “set”]), so the idea is how God lays [or sets] [a command] for them. The suffix is proleptic, to be clarified in the second colon.

[37:15]  ³ tn Dhorme reads this “and how his stormcloud makes lightning to flash forth?”
