Ayub 36:2

36:2 “Be patient ¹  with me a little longer

and I will instruct you,

for I still have words to speak on God’s behalf. ² 

Ayub 40:11

40:11 Scatter abroad ³  the abundance ⁴  of your anger.

Look at every proud man ⁵  and bring him low;

[36:2]  ¹ tn The verb כָּתַּר (kattar) is the Piel imperative; in Hebrew the word means “to surround” and is related to the noun for crown. But in Syriac it means “to wait.” This section of the book of Job will have a few Aramaic words.

[36:2]  ² tn The Hebrew text simply has “for yet for God words.”

[40:11]  ³ tn The verb was used for scattering lightning (Job 37:11). God is challenging Job to unleash his power and judge wickedness in the world.

[40:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “the overflowings.”

[40:11]  ⁵ tn The word was just used in the positive sense of excellence or majesty; now the exalted nature of the person refers to self-exaltation, or pride.
