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 33:26

33:26 He entreats God, and God ²  delights in him,

he sees God’s face ³  with rejoicing,

and God ⁴  restores to him his righteousness. ⁵ 

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

[33:26]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:26]  ³ tn Heb “his face”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:26]  ⁵ tc Many commentators think this line is superfluous and so delete it. The RSV changed the verb to “he recounts,” making the idea that the man publishes the news of his victory or salvation (taking “righteousness” as a metonymy of cause).
