Ayub 29:12

29:12 for I rescued the poor who cried out for help,

and the orphan who ¹  had no one to assist him;

Ayub 40:8

40:8 Would you indeed annul ²  my justice?

Would you declare me guilty so that you might be right?

[29:12]  ¹ tn The negative introduces a clause that serves as a negative attribute; literally the following clause says, “and had no helper” (see GKC 482 §152.u).

[40:8]  ² tn The verb פָּרַר (parar) means “to annul; to break; to frustrate.” It was one thing for Job to claim his own integrity, but it was another matter altogether to nullify God’s righteousness in the process.
