NET Notes

tn The word “your fear” or “your piety” refers to Job’s reverence – it is his fear of God (thus a subjective genitive). When “fear” is used of religion, it includes faith and adoration on the positive side, fear and obedience on the negative.

sn Of course the point is that God does not charge Job because he is righteous; the point is he must be unrighteous.
