Job 34:27

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

and have not understood ¹  any of his ways,

Job 40:20

40:20 For the hills bring it food, ² 

where all the wild animals play.

[34:27]  ¹ 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.

[40:20]  ² tn The word בּוּל (bul) probably refers to food. Many take it as an abbreviated form of יְבוּל (yÿvul, “produce of the field”). The vegetation that is produced on the low hills is what is meant.
