Job 27:5

27:5 I will never ¹  declare that you three ²  are in the right;

until I die, I will not set aside my integrity!

Job 34:10

God is Not Unjust

34:10 “Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. ³ 

Far be it from ⁴  God to do wickedness,

from the Almighty to do evil.

[27:5]  ¹ tn The text uses חָלִילָה לִּי (khalilah li) meaning “far be it from me,” or more strongly, something akin to “sacrilege.”

[27:5]  ² tn In the Hebrew text “you” is plural – a reference to Eliphaz, Zophar, and Bildad. To make this clear, “three” is supplied in the translation.

[34:10]  ³ tn Heb “men of heart.” The “heart” is used for the capacity to understand and make the proper choice. It is often translated “mind.”

[34:10]  ⁴ tn For this construction, see Job 27:5.
