Job 36:15

36:15 He delivers the afflicted by ¹  their ²  afflictions,

he reveals himself to them ³  by their suffering.

[36:15]  ¹ tn The preposition בּ (bet) in these two lines is not location but instrument, not “in” but “by means of.” The affliction and the oppression serve as a warning for sin, and therefore a means of salvation.

[36:15]  ² tn Heb “his.”

[36:15]  ³ tn Heb “he uncovers their ear.”
