Job 32:17

32:17 I too will answer my part,

I too will explain what I know.

Job 33:31

33:31 Pay attention, Job – listen to me;

be silent, and I will speak.

Job 34:5

34:5 For Job says, ‘I am innocent,

but God turns away my right.

Job 36:10

36:10 And he reveals this for correction,

and says that they must turn from evil.


tn Heb “righteous,” but in this context it means to be innocent or in the right.

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.
