Ayub 22:14

22:14 Thick clouds are a veil for him, so he does not see us, ¹ 

as he goes back and forth

in the vault ²  of heaven.’ ³ 

Mazmur 10:11

10:11 He says to himself, ⁴ 

“God overlooks it;

he does not pay attention;

he never notices.” ⁵ 

[22:14]  ¹ tn Heb “and he does not see.” The implied object is “us.”

[22:14]  ² sn The word is “circle; dome”; here it is the dome that covers the earth, beyond which God sits enthroned. A. B. Davidson (Job, 165) suggests “on the arch of heaven” that covers the earth.

[22:14]  ³ sn The idea suggested here is that God is not only far off, but he is unconcerned as he strolls around heaven – this is what Eliphaz says Job means.

[10:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “he says in his heart.” See v. 6.

[10:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “God forgets, he hides his face, he never sees.”
