[13:8] 1 sn The idiom used here is “Will you lift up his face?” Here Job is being very sarcastic, for this expression usually means that a judge is taking a bribe. Job is accusing them of taking God’s side.
[13:8] 2 tn The same root is used here (רִיב, riv, “dispute, contention”) as in v. 6b (see note).
