Ayub 36:15

36:15 He delivers the afflicted by ¹  their ²  afflictions,

he reveals himself to them ³  by their suffering.

Ayub 41:34

41:34 It looks on every haughty being;

it is king over all that are proud.” ⁴ 

[36:15]  ¹ tn The preposition בּ (bet) in these two lines is not location but instrument, not “in” but “by means of.” The affliction and the oppression serve as a warning for sin, and therefore a means of salvation.

[36:15]  ² tn Heb “his.”

[36:15]  ³ tn Heb “he uncovers their ear.”

[41:34]  ⁴ tn Heb “the sons of pride.” Dhorme repoints the last word to get “all the wild beasts,” but this misses the point of the verse. This animal looks over every proud creature – but he is king of them all in that department.
