Job 16:22

16:22 For the years that lie ahead are few, ¹ 

and then I will go on the way of no return. ² 

Job 27:6

27:6 I will maintain my righteousness

and never let it go;

my conscience ³  will not reproach me

for as long as I live. ⁴ 

[16:22]  ¹ tn The expression is “years of number,” meaning that they can be counted, and so “the years are few.” The verb simply means “comes” or “lie ahead.”

[16:22]  ² tn The verbal expression “I will not return” serves here to modify the journey that he will take. It is “the road [of] I will not return.”

[27:6]  ³ tn Heb “my heart.”

[27:6]  ⁴ tn The prepositional phrase “from my days” probably means “from the days of my birth,” or “all my life.”
