Ayub 38:17

38:17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you? ¹ 

Have you seen the gates of deepest darkness? ² 

Ayub 38:41

38:41 Who prepares prey for the raven,

when its young cry out to God

and wander about ³  for lack of food?

Ayub 40:7

40:7 “Get ready for a difficult task ⁴  like a man.

I will question you and you will inform me!

[38:17]  ¹ tn Heb “uncovered to you.”

[38:17]  ² tn Some still retain the traditional phrase “shadow of death” in the English translation (cf. NIV). The reference is to the entrance to Sheol (see Job 10:21).

[38:41]  ³ tn The verse is difficult, making some suspect that a line has dropped out. The little birds in the nest hardly go wandering about looking for food. Dhorme suggest “and stagger for lack of food.”

[40:7]  ⁴ tn See note on “task” in 38:3.
