Job 38:9

38:9 when I made ¹  the storm clouds its garment,

and thick darkness its swaddling band, ² 

Job 22:13

22:13 But you have said, ‘What does God know?

Does he judge through such deep darkness? ³ 

[38:9]  ¹ tn The temporal clause here uses the infinitive from שִׂים (sim, “to place; to put; to make”). It underscores the sovereign placing of things.

[38:9]  ² tn This noun is found only here. The verb is in Ezek 16:4, and a related noun is in Ezek 30:21.

[22:13]  ³ sn Eliphaz is giving to Job the thoughts and words of the pagans, for they say, “How does God know, and is there knowledge in the Most High?” (see Ps 73:11; 94:11).
