Job 27 General Notes

Structure and Formatting

This chapter is a continuation of Job’s response to Bildad and the other two friends.- Verses 1–10: Job insists that he is godly and will continue to live that way- Verses 11–23: Job describes how God punishes wicked peopleThe ULT sets the lines of this chapter farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because it is poetry.

Reference of “he,” “him,” and “his”

From verse 14 through to the end of the chapter, the pronouns “he,” “him,” and “his” refer to the “wicked man” whom Job first mentions in verse 13. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could specify the referent and say “a wicked man” at regular intervals for clarity. Notes suggest how you might do this at various places.
