Job 38:41

38:41 Who prepares prey for the raven,

when its young cry out to God

and wander about for lack of food?

Job 39:4

39:4 Their young grow strong, and grow up in the open;

they go off, and do not return to them.


tn The verse is difficult, making some suspect that a line has dropped out. The little birds in the nest hardly go wandering about looking for food. Dhorme suggest “and stagger for lack of food.”

tn The idea is that of the open countryside. The Aramaism is found only here.
