Footnotes

1. Job 36:13 tn The expression “godless [or hypocrite] in heart” is an intensification of the description. It conveys that they are intentionally godless. See Matt 23:28.
2. Job 36:13 tn Heb “they put anger.” This is usually interpreted to mean they lay up anger, or put anger in their hearts.
3. Job 36:14 tn The text expresses this with “their soul dies.”
4. Job 36:14 tn Heb “among the male prostitutes” who were at the temple—the “holy ones,” with “holy” being used in that sense of “separated to that form of temple service.” So uncleanness and shame are some of the connotations of the reference. Some modern translations give the general sense only: “their life ends in shame” (NRSV); “and perish among the reprobate” (NAB); “die…after wasting their lives in immoral living” (NLT).
5. Job 36:15 tn The preposition ב (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.
6. Job 36:15 tn Heb “his.”
7. Job 36:15 tn Heb “he uncovers their ear.”
