Job 26 General Notes
Structure and formatting
The ULB sets the lines of this chapter farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because it is a poem. This chapter is Job's response to Bildad.
This chapter begins a section continuing through chapter 31.
Special concepts in this chapter
Yahweh's power
While Bildad describes Yahweh's power as being so much greater than Job's, Job understands the true extent of Yahweh's power. It is not just over Job's life, but over all of creation.
Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
Sarcasm
Job uses sarcasm in this chapter. This is the use of irony to insult Bildad. (See: Job 1-4 and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-irony)
