Job 24:13

24:13 There are those ¹  who rebel against the light;

they do not know its ways

and they do not stay on its paths.

Job 34:27

34:27 because they have turned away from following him,

and have not understood ²  any of his ways,

Job 26:14

26:14 Indeed, these are but the outer fringes of his ways! ³ 

How faint is the whisper ⁴  we hear of him!

But who can understand the thunder of his power?”

[24:13]  ¹ tn Heb “They are among those who.”

[34:27]  ² tn The verb הִשְׂכִּילוּ (hiskilu) means “to be prudent; to be wise.” From this is derived the idea of “be wise in understanding God’s will,” and “be successful because of prudence” – i.e., successful with God.

[26:14]  ³ tn Heb “the ends of his ways,” meaning “the fringes.”

[26:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “how little is the word.” Here “little” means a “fraction” or an “echo.”
