Ayub 8:10

8:10 Will they not ¹  instruct you and ²  speak to you,

and bring forth words ³ 

from their understanding? ⁴ 

Ayub 42:4

42:4 You said, ⁵ 

‘Pay attention, and I will speak;

I will question you, and you will answer me.’

[8:10]  ¹ tn The sentence begins emphatically: “Is it not they.”

[8:10]  ² tn The “and” is not present in the line. The second clause seems to be in apposition to the first, explaining it more thoroughly: “Is it not they [who] will instruct you, [who] will speak to you.”

[8:10]  ³ tn The noun may have been left indeterminate for the sake of emphasis (GKC 401-2 §125.c), meaning “important words.”

[8:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “from their heart.”

[42:4]  ⁵ tn This phrase, “you said,” is supplied in the translation to introduce the recollection of God’s words.
