Job 22:27

22:27 You will pray to him and he will hear you,

and you will fulfill your vows to him. ¹ 

Job 23:14

23:14 For he fulfills his decree against me, ² 

and many such things are his plans. ³ 

[22:27]  ¹ tn The words “to him” are not in the Hebrew text, but are implied.

[23:14]  ² tn The text has “my decree,” which means “the decree [plan] for/against me.” The suffix is objective, equivalent to a dative of disadvantage. The Syriac and the Vulgate actually have “his decree.” R. Gordis (Job, 262) suggests taking it in the same sense as in Job 14:5: “my limit.”.

[23:14]  ³ tn Heb “and many such [things] are with him.”
