# Connecting Statement:

|

|
Job continues speaking to his friends.
|
|
|
|
# You say
|
|
|
|
These words are added by most versions in order to make it clear that the Job is quoting his friends in the next statement.
|
|
|
|
# God lays up one's guilt for his children to pay
|
|
|
|
Guilt is spoken of as something that can be stored for later use. Here "to pay" refers to punishment for sin. Alternate translation: "God keeps a record of a person's sins, then he punishes the person's children for his wicked deeds" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

|
# Let him pay it himself, ... know his guilt
|
|
|
|
Job now begins to state his own opinion. It may be helpful to state this explicitly using an indirect quotation. "But I say that he should pay it himself, ... know his guilt'" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
