Ayub 13:11

13:11 Would not his splendor ¹  terrify ²  you

and the fear he inspires ³  fall on you?

Ayub 32:14

32:14 Job ⁴  has not directed ⁵  his words to me,

and so I will not reply to him with your arguments. ⁶ 

[13:11]  ¹ sn The word translated “his majesty” or “his splendor” (שְׂאֵתוֹ, sÿ’eto) forms a play on the word “show partiality” (תִּשָּׂאוּן, tissa’un) in the last verse. They are both from the verb נָשַׂא (nasa’, “to lift up”).

[13:11]  ² tn On this verb in the Piel, see 7:14.

[13:11]  ³ tn Heb “His dread”; the suffix is a subjective genitive.

[32:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Job) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[32:14]  ⁵ tn The verb עַרַךְ (’arakh) means “to arrange in order; to set forth; to direct; to marshal.” It is used in military contexts for setting the battle array; it is used in legal settings for preparing the briefs.

[32:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “your words.”
