[33:13] 1 tc The MT has “all his words.” This must refer to “man” in the previous verse. But many wish to change it to “my words,” since it would be summarizing Job’s complaint to God.
[41:3] 2 tn The line asks if the animal, when caught and tied and under control, would keep on begging for mercy. Absolutely not. It is not in the nature of the beast.

[41:3] 3 tn The rhetorical question again affirms the opposite. The poem is portraying the creature as powerful and insensitive.
