Context — Job's Response to His Friendsgenerated

12Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,
13as you turn your spirit against God and pour such words from your mouth?
14What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?
15If God puts no trust in His holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in His eyes,

Job 15:13 is part of Job's reply to the accusations made by his friends, who suggest that his suffering is due to hidden sin. Job questions the validity of their claims and highlights the importance of the words spoken against God. He emphasizes that turning one's spirit against God leads to harmful speech, reflecting a deeper spiritual conflict.

The Key Word רוּחֶךָ, ru.Che.khagenerated

The word רוּחַ (ruach) refers to the spirit, encompassing the breath of life, emotions, and mental state. It is a feminine noun that can denote both the physical aspect of breath and the abstract concept of one's inner self or spirit.

In this context, Job is addressing the spirit as the source of one's thoughts and words. The use of the second person possessive suffix indicates a personal confrontation, suggesting that the speaker's spirit is in rebellion against God, which is a serious spiritual condition.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The translations agree on the rendering of the verse, consistently conveying the idea of turning one's spirit against God and the resulting speech.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb in the sentence is תָשִׁ֣יב, you will turn, which governs the action of the subject. The structure includes a prepositional phrase indicating the direction of the action, followed by a noun phrase that specifies the object of the verb.

The flow of the sentence emphasizes the relationship between the spirit and the words spoken, highlighting how one's internal state influences external expression.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates רוּחֶךָ as πνεῦμά σου (pneuma sou), meaning 'your spirit'. This choice emphasizes the spiritual dimension of the text, aligning with the Hebrew meaning while also suggesting a broader interpretation of the spirit's role in one's relationship with God.

The Greek word used indicates a focus on the essence of the individual, which may reflect a nuanced understanding of the inner life in relation to divine authority.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint largely agree in content, with seven of the eight words matched. The differences in word order and articles are reflective of the distinct grammatical structures in Hebrew and Greek but do not alter the fundamental meaning of the verse.

Masoretic TextLeningrad Codex, c. AD 1008 — the text this page is built on

7 of the 8 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript.

God

(A.S. and Dutch God; Dan. Gud; Ger. Gott), the name of the Divine Being. It is the rendering (1) of the Hebrew ’El, from a word meaning to be strong; (2) of ’Eloah_, plural _’Elohim. The singular form, Eloah, is used only in poetry. The plural form is more commonly used in all parts of the Bible, The Hebrew word Jehovah (q.v.), the only other word generally employed to denote the Supreme Being, is uniformly rendered in the Authorized Version by “LORD,” printed in small capitals. The existence of God is taken for granted in the Bible. There is nowhere any argument to prove it. He who disbelieves this truth is spoken of as one devoid of understanding (Ps. 14:1).

The arguments generally adduced by theologians in proof of the being of God are:

(1.) The a priori argument, which is the testimony afforded by reason.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

(good). Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures two chief names are used for the one true divine Being--ELOHIM, commonly translated God in our version, and JEHOVAH, translated Lord . Elohim is the plural of Eloah (in Arabic Allah); it is often used in the short form EL (a word signifying strength , as in EL-SHADDAI, God Almighty, the name by which God was specially known to the patriarchs. (Genesis 17:1; 28:3; Exodus 6:3) The etymology is uncertain, but it is generally agreed that the primary idea is that of strength, power of effect , and that it properly describes God in that character in which he is exhibited to all men in his works, as the creator, sustainer and supreme governor of the world. The plural form of Elohim has given rise to much discussion. The fanciful idea that it…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

This name, the derivation of which is uncertain, we give to that eternal, infinite, perfect, and incomprehensible Being, the Creator of all things, who preserves and governs all by his almighty power and wisdom, and is the only proper object of worship. The proper Hebrew name for God is JEHOVAH, which signifies He is. But the Jews, from a feeling of reverence, avoid pronouncing this name, substituting for it, wherever it occurs in the sacred test, the word ADONAI, Lord; except in the expression, ADONAI JEHOVAH, Lord Jehovah, for which they put, ADONAI ELOHIM, Lord God. This usage, which is not without an element of superstition, is very ancient, dating its origin some centuries before Christ; but there is no good ground for assuming its existence in the days of the inspired Old Testament writers. The proper word for God is ELOHIM, which is plural in its form, being thus used to signify…
