Job 33:26

33:26 He entreats God, and God ¹  delights in him,

he sees God’s face ²  with rejoicing,

and God ³  restores to him his righteousness. ⁴ 

Job 39:25

39:25 At the sound of the trumpet, it says, ‘Aha!’

And from a distance it catches the scent of battle,

the thunderous shouting of commanders,

and the battle cries.

[33:26]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

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

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

[33:26]  ⁴ 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).
