KJB-1611 1 Iob mainteineth himselfe against his friends that reproue him. 7 He acknowledgeth the generall doctrine of Gods omnipotencie.
(1 Yob mainteineth himself against his friends that reprove him. 7 He acknowledgeth the generall doctrine of Gods omnipotencie.)
This chapter is the start of Job’s response to Zophar’s first speech. (Job’s response to him continues in chapters 13 and 14.)- Verses 1–6: Job speaks to all three of his friends and protests that they have not been telling him anything that he does not already know- Verses 7–12: Job speaks specifically to Zophar and insists that what Zophar has just said in his speech is common knowledge in the world and something that he himself knows.- Verses 13–25: Job describes how God is so powerful that no one can resist what he does.The ULT sets the lines of this chapter farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because it is poetry.
The pronoun “you” is plural in verses 1–3 because Job is addressing all three of his friends. The pronoun “you” is singular in verses 7–8 because Job is addressing Zophar. Use the plural and singular forms in these places if your language marks that distinction.
In verses 13–24, Job makes a series of statements about how powerful God is. These specific statements illustrate the general statement that Job makes in verse 4 that God is “wise in heart and mighty in strength.” A series of statements such as this is known as a litany. If your readers would recognize what Job is doing, you can translate and format this litany the way the ULT does. If the litany form would not be familiar to your readers, you could format the general statement in a way that will show that it is a summary statement that shows the overall meaning of what Job is saying. You could then put each sentence of the litany on a separate line. The format might look something like this:> With him are wisdom and might; to him are counsel and understanding.> Behold, he breaks down, and it is not rebuilt; he closes upon a man, and it is not opened.> Behold, he withholds the waters and they dry up, and he sends them out and they overthrow the land.> With him are strength and prudence; to him are the one straying and the one causing to stray;> the one leading counselors away naked, and he makes judges foolish.> He removes the bond of kings and he wraps a cloth around their loins;> the one leading priests away naked, and the incumbent ones he overthrows,> the one removing the lip that is to the ones being trusted, and he takes away the discernment of the elders,> the one pouring contempt on nobles, and the belt of the mighty ones he loosens,> the one revealing deep things out of darkness, and he brings dark shadow into the light,> the one magnifying nations, and he destroys them; the one enlarging nations, and he exiles them,> the one removing a heart from the leaders of the people of the earth; he causes them to wander in a wasteland with no path.> They grope in darkness and not in light; he makes them wander like a drunkard.
