and has taken the crown off my head. ¹ 

Ayub 28:26

28:26 When he imposed a limit ²  for the rain,

and a path for the thunderstorm, ³ 

Ayub 33:11

33:11 ⁴ He puts my feet in shackles;

he watches closely all my paths.’

[19:9]  ¹ sn The images here are fairly common in the Bible. God has stripped away Job’s honorable reputation. The crown is the metaphor for the esteem and dignity he once had. See 29:14; Isa 61:3; see Ps 8:5 [6].

[28:26]  ² tn Or “decree.”

[28:26]  ³ tn Or “thunderbolt,” i.e., lightning. Heb “the roaring of voices/sounds,” which describes the nature of the storm.

[33:11]  ⁴ sn See Job 13:27.
