Notes

Job 30:18

He seizes me by the collar: The Hebrew in this verse is hard to translate. It might mean Job feels like God is choking him and he is a throw him into the mud (compare 30:19).

Job 29:1–31:40

Job compares his past happiness, honor, and wealth with his current loss of social dignity and divine friendship (chapters 29 and 30). He ends his speech with broad vows of innocence (chapter 31).
