Job 34:8

34:8 He goes about ¹  in company ²  with evildoers,

he goes along ³  with wicked men. ⁴ 

Job 34:22

34:22 There is no darkness, and no deep darkness,

where evildoers can hide themselves. ⁵ 

[34:8]  ¹ tn The perfect verb with the vav (ו) consecutive carries the sequence forward from the last description.

[34:8]  ² tn The word חֶבְרַה (khevrah, “company”) is a hapax legomenon. But its meaning is clear enough from the connections to related words and this context as well.

[34:8]  ³ tn The infinitive construct with the ל (lamed) preposition may continue the clause with the finite verb (see GKC 351 §114.p).

[34:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “men of wickedness”; the genitive is attributive (= “wicked men”).

[34:22]  ⁵ tn The construction of this colon uses the Niphal infinitive construct from סָתַר (satar, “to be hidden; to hide”). The resumptive adverb makes this a relative clause in its usage: “where the evildoers can hide themselves.”
