Job 29:12

29:12 for I rescued the poor who cried out for help,

and the orphan who ¹  had no one to assist him;

Job 34:28

34:28 so that they caused ²  the cry of the poor

to come before him,

so that he hears ³  the cry of the needy.

[29:12]  ¹ tn The negative introduces a clause that serves as a negative attribute; literally the following clause says, “and had no helper” (see GKC 482 §152.u).

[34:28]  ² tn The verse begins with the infinitive construct of בּוֹא (bo’, “go”), showing the result of their impious actions.

[34:28]  ³ tn The verb here is an imperfect; the clause is circumstantial to the preceding clause, showing either the result, or the concomitant action.
