Ayub 5:20

5:20 In time of famine ¹  he will redeem you from death,

and in time of war from the power of the sword. ² 

Mazmur 37:14

37:14 Evil men draw their swords

and prepare their bows,

to bring down ³  the oppressed and needy,

and to slaughter those who are godly. ⁴ 

[5:20]  ¹ sn Targum Job here sees an allusion to the famine of Egypt and the war with Amalek.

[5:20]  ² tn Heb “from the hand of the sword.” This is idiomatic for “the power of the sword.” The expression is also metonymical, meaning from the effect of the sword, which is death.

[37:14]  ³ tn Heb “to cause to fall.”

[37:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “the upright in way,” i.e., those who lead godly lives.
