Job 37:11

37:11 He loads the clouds with moisture; ¹ 

he scatters his lightning through the clouds.

Job 40:11

40:11 Scatter abroad ²  the abundance ³  of your anger.

Look at every proud man ⁴  and bring him low;

[37:11]  ¹ tn The word “moisture” is drawn from רִי (ri) as a contraction for רְוִי (rÿvi). Others emended the text to get “hail” (NAB) or “lightning,” or even “the Creator.” For these, see the various commentaries. There is no reason to change the reading of the MT when it makes perfectly good sense.

[40:11]  ² tn The verb was used for scattering lightning (Job 37:11). God is challenging Job to unleash his power and judge wickedness in the world.

[40:11]  ³ tn Heb “the overflowings.”

[40:11]  ⁴ tn The word was just used in the positive sense of excellence or majesty; now the exalted nature of the person refers to self-exaltation, or pride.
