18:6 The light in his tent grows dark;
his lamp above him is extinguished. 1
38:2 “Who is this 2 who darkens counsel 3
with words without knowledge?
1 tn The LXX interprets a little more precisely: “his lamp shall be put out with him.”
2 tn The demonstrative pronoun is used here to emphasize the interrogative pronoun (see GKC 442 §136.c).
3 sn The referent of “counsel” here is not the debate between Job and the friends, but the purposes of God (see Ps 33:10; Prov 19:21; Isa 19:17). Dhorme translates it “Providence.”
