Ayub 27:13

27:13 This is the portion of the wicked man

allotted by God, ¹ 

the inheritance that evildoers receive

from the Almighty.

Ayub 27:16-17

27:16 If he piles up silver like dust

and stores up clothing like mounds of clay,

27:17 what he stores up ²  a righteous man will wear,

and an innocent man will inherit his silver.

[27:13]  ¹ tn The expression “allotted by God” interprets the simple prepositional phrase in the text: “with/from God.”

[27:17]  ² tn The text simply repeats the verb from the last clause. It could be treated as a separate short clause: “He may store it up, but the righteous will wear it. But it also could be understood as the object of the following verb, “[what] he stores up the righteous will wear.” The LXX simply has, “All these things shall the righteous gain.”
