Job 18:21

18:21 ‘Surely such is the residence of an evil man;

and this is the place of one who has not known God.’”

Job 21:28

21:28 For you say,

‘Where now is the nobleman’s house,

and where are the tents in which the wicked lived?’


tn The term is in the plural, “the tabernacles”; it should be taken as a plural of local extension (see GKC 397 §124.b).

tn The word “place” is in construct; the clause following it replaces the genitive: “this is the place of – he has not known God.”

sn The question implies the answer will be “vanished” or “gone.”

tn Heb “And where is the tent, the dwellings of the wicked.” The word “dwellings of the wicked” is in apposition to “tent.” A relative pronoun must be supplied in the translation.
