Job 26:5
A Better Description of God’s Greatness ▼▼sn This is the section, Job 26:5-14, that many conclude makes better sense coming from the friend. But if it is attributed to Job, then he is showing he can surpass them in his treatise of the greatness of God.
5 “The dead ▼ tremble ▼
▼tn The verb is a Polal from חִיל (khil) which means “to tremble.” It shows that even these spirits cannot escape the terror.
— those beneath the waters
and all that live in them. ▼
▼tc Most commentators wish to lengthen the verse and make it more parallel, but nothing is gained by doing this.
