Job 15:8
8 Do you listen in on God’s secret council? ▼▼tn The meaning of
סוֹד (
sod) is “confidence.” In the context the implication is “secret counsel” of the
Lord God (see
Jer 23:18). It is a question of confidence on the part of God, that only wisdom can know (see
Prov 8:30,
31). Job seemed to them to claim to have access to the mind of God.
Do you limit ▼▼tn In v.
4 the word meant “limit”; here it has a slightly different sense, namely, “to reserve for oneself.”
wisdom to yourself?
