Job 34:11

34:11 For he repays a person for his work,

and according to the conduct of a person,

he causes the consequences to find him.

Job 36:9

36:9 then he reveals to them what they have done,

and their transgressions,

that they were behaving proudly.


tn Heb “for the work of man, he [= God] repays him.”

tn Heb “he causes it to find him.” The text means that God will cause a man to find (or receive) the consequences of his actions.

tn The verb נָגַד (nagad) means “to declare; to tell.” Here it is clear that God is making known the sins that caused the enslavement or captivity, so “reveal” makes a good interpretive translation.

tn Heb “their work.”
