Job 27:20-22

New English Translation

Footnotes

1. Job 27:20 tn Many commentators want a word parallel to “in the night.” And so we are offered בַּיּוֹם (bayyom, “in the day”) for כַמַּיִם (khammayim, “like waters”) as well as a number of others. But “waters” sometimes stand for major calamities, and so may be retained here. Besides, not all parallel structures are synonymous.
2. Job 27:22 tn The verb is once again functioning in an adverbial sense. The text has “it hurls itself against him and shows no mercy.”
