Ayub 26:6

26:6 The underworld ¹  is naked before God; ² 

the place of destruction lies uncovered. ³ 

Ayub 34:21-22

34:21 For his eyes are on the ways of an individual,

he observes all a person’s ⁴  steps.

34:22 There is no darkness, and no deep darkness,

where evildoers can hide themselves. ⁵ 

[26:6]  ¹ tn Heb “Sheol.”

[26:6]  ² tn Heb “before him.”

[26:6]  ³ tn The line has “and there is no covering for destruction.” “Destruction” here is another name for Sheol: אֲבַדּוֹן (’avaddon, “Abaddon”).

[34:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “his”; the referent (a person) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[34:22]  ⁵ tn The construction of this colon uses the Niphal infinitive construct from סָתַר (satar, “to be hidden; to hide”). The resumptive adverb makes this a relative clause in its usage: “where the evildoers can hide themselves.”
