Job 33:5

33:5 Reply to me, if you can;

set your arguments ¹  in order before me

and take your stand!

Job 28:13

28:13 Mankind does not know its place; ² 

it cannot be found in the land of the living.

[33:5]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text does not contain the term “arguments,” but this verb has been used already for preparing or arranging a defense.

[28:13]  ² tc The LXX has “its way, apparently reading דַּרְכָה (darkhah) in place of עֶרְכָּהּ (’erkah, “place”). This is adopted by most modern commentators. But R. Gordis (Job, 308) shows that this change is not necessary, for עֶרֶךְ (’erekh) in the Bible means “order; row; disposition,” and here “place.” An alternate meaning would be “worth” (NIV, ESV).
