Ayub 10:7

10:7 although you know ¹  that I am not guilty,

and that there is no one who can deliver ² 

out of your hand?

Ayub 22:17

22:17 They were saying to God, ‘Turn away from us,’

and ‘What can the Almighty do to us?’ ³ 

[10:7]  ¹ tn Heb עַל־דַּעְתְּךָ (’al da’tÿkha, “upon your knowledge”). The use of the preposition means basically “in addition to your knowledge,” or “in spite of your knowledge,” i.e., “notwithstanding” or “although” (see GKC 383 §119.aa, n. 2).

[10:7]  ² tn Heb “and there is no deliverer.”

[10:7]  sn The fact is that humans are the work of God’s hands. They are helpless in the hand of God. But it is also unworthy of God to afflict his people.

[22:17]  ³ tn The form in the text is “to them.” The LXX and the Syriac versions have “to us.”
