26:6 The underworld 1 is naked before God; 2
the place of destruction lies uncovered. 3
34:21 For his eyes are on the ways of an individual,
he observes all a person’s 4 steps.
38:17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you? 5
Have you seen the gates of deepest darkness? 6
1 tn Heb “Sheol.”
2 tn Heb “before him.”
3 tn The line has “and there is no covering for destruction.” “Destruction” here is another name for Sheol: אֲבַדּוֹן (’avaddon, “Abaddon”).
4 tn Heb “his”; the referent (a person) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
5 tn Heb “uncovered to you.”
6 tn Some still retain the traditional phrase “shadow of death” in the English translation (cf. NIV). The reference is to the entrance to Sheol (see Job 10:21).
