Job 9:10

9:10 he does great and unsearchable things,

and wonderful things without number.

Job 21:31

21:31 No one denounces his conduct to his face;

no one repays him for what he has done.


tn Only slight differences exist between this verse and 5:9 which employs the simple ו (vav) conjunction before אֵין (’eyn) in the first colon and omits the ו (vav) conjunction before נִפְלָאוֹת (niflaot, “wonderful things”) in the second colon.

tn The expression “and he has done” is taken here to mean “what he has done.”

tn Heb “Who declares his way to his face? // Who repays him for what he has done?” These rhetorical questions, which expect a negative answer (“No one!”) have been translated as indicative statements to bring out their force clearly.
