16:18 “O earth, do not cover my blood, 1
nor let there be a secret 2 place for my cry.
33:31 Pay attention, Job – listen to me;
be silent, and I will speak.
[16:18] 1 sn Job knows that he will die, and that his death, signified here by blood on the ground, will cry out for vindication.
[16:18] 2 tn The word is simply “a place,” but in the context it surely means a hidden place, a secret place that would never be discovered (see 18:21).
