Ayub 36:4

36:4 For in truth, my words are not false;

it is one complete ¹  in knowledge

who is with you.

Ayub 37:16

37:16 Do you know about the balancing ²  of the clouds,

that wondrous activity of him who is perfect in knowledge?

[36:4]  ¹ tn The word is תְּמִים (tÿmim), often translated “perfect.” It is the same word used of Job in 2:3. Elihu is either a complete stranger to modesty or is confident regarding the knowledge that he believes God has revealed to him for this situation. See the note on the heading before 32:1.

[37:16]  ² tn As indicated by HALOT 618 s.v. מִפְלָשׂ, the concept of “balancing” probably refers to “floating” or “suspension” (cf. NIV’s “how the clouds hang poised” and J. E. Hartley, Job [NICOT], 481-82, n. 2).
