Job 21:15

21:15 Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him?

What would we gain

if we were to pray to him?’


tn The interrogative clause is followed by ki, similar to Exod 5:2, “Who is Yahweh, that I should obey him?”

tn The verb פָּגַע (paga’) means “to encounter; to meet,” but also “to meet with request; to intercede; to interpose.” The latter meaning is a derived meaning by usage.

tn The verse is not present in the LXX. It may be that it was considered too blasphemous and therefore omitted.
