[22:4]  1 tn The word “your fear” or “your piety” refers to Job’s reverence – it is his fear of God (thus a subjective genitive). When “fear” is used of religion, it includes faith and adoration on the positive side, fear and obedience on the negative.

[22:4]  2 sn Of course the point is that God does not charge Job because he is righteous; the point is he must be unrighteous.

[35:4]  3 tn The emphatic pronoun calls attention to Elihu who will answer these questions.

[35:4]  4 tn The Hebrew text adds, “with words,” but since this is obvious, for stylistic reasons it has not been included in the translation.
