Job 13:16

13:16 Moreover, this will become my deliverance,

for no godless person would come before him. ¹ 

Job 41:13

41:13 Who can uncover its outer covering? ² 

Who can penetrate to the inside of its armor? ³ 

[13:16]  ¹ sn The fact that Job will dare to come before God and make his case is evidence – to Job at least – that he is innocent.

[41:13]  ² tn Heb “the face of his garment,” referring to the outer garment or covering. Some take it to be the front as opposed to the back.

[41:13]  ³ tc The word רֶסֶן (resen) has often been rendered “bridle” (cf. ESV), but that leaves a number of unanswered questions. The LXX reads סִרְיוֹן (siryon), with the transposition of letters, but that means “coat of armor.” If the metathesis stands, there is also support from the cognate Akkadian.
