translationNotes

  • Zophar continues speaking with Job.
  • Do you not know this fact from ancient times - Zophar uses a question to cause Job to think deeply about what he will now say. AT: "Surely you know what has been true since the ancient times" (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion)
  • the triumph of the wicked is short - "the wicked person only celebrates for a little while"
  • the joy of the godless lasts only for a moment - This means the same as the first part of the verse. Zophar means their joy will not continue for a long time. (See: :en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_parallelism and :en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_hyperbole)
