Notes

Job 9:17

with a tempest: The words translated as “with a tempest” (bis’arah) might also mean besa‘arah (“for a hair,” meaning “for the smallest thing”). This would parallel "without cause."

Job 9:1–35

Job answered Bildad by describing God's universal and legal power. His speech resembles a complex legal case.

It includes:

A summons and response (9:3, 14–16, 19b, 32).
The risk of proving himself guilty (9:20).
A "mediator" (9:33–34).
A question of accusation (9:12).
A legal sentence (9:22).
A declaration of guilt (9:28–30).
