Job 18:17

18:17 His memory perishes from the earth,

he has no name in the land.

Job 36:10

36:10 And he reveals this for correction,

and says that they must turn from evil.


tn Heb “outside.” Cf. ESV, “in the street,” referring to absence from his community’s memory.

tn The idiom once again is “he uncovers their ear.”

tn The revelation is in the preceding verse, and so a pronoun must be added to make the reference clear.

tn The verb שׁוּב (shuv, “to turn; to return”) is one of the two major words in the OT for “repent” – to return from evil. Here the imperfect should be obligatory – they must do it.
