Job 9
Job 9 is the ninth chapter of the Book of Job in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. The book is anonymous; most scholars believe it was written around 6th century BCE. This chapter records the speech of Job, which belongs to the Dialogue section of the book, comprising Job 3:1–31:40.
The original text is written in Hebrew language. This chapter is divided into 35 verses.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text, which includes the Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008). Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls including 4Q100 (4QJobb; 50–1 BCE) with extant verse 27.
There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BC; some extant ancient manuscripts of this version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: S; 4th century), and Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century).
The structure of the book is as follows:
Within the structure, chapter 9 is grouped into the Dialogue section with the following outline:
The Dialogue section is composed in the format of poetry with distinctive syntax and grammar.
At this point of the book, the issues of righteousness and justice have been raised by Eliphaz (Job 4–5) and Bildad (Job 8), and Job responded in his first speech (Job 6–7) and now in second speeche (Job 9–10). Eliphaz asked whether humans are righteous (יִצְדָּ֑ק, yiṣ-dāq) before God (Job 4:17), but Job points out that it is his righteousness (צִדְקִי, ṣiḏ-qî) that is at stake (Job 6:29). Bildad asked whether God perverts justice (מִשְׁפָּ֑ט, miš-pāṭ) or righteousness (צֶֽדֶק, ṣe-ḏeq; Job 8:3), so in this chapter Job asks how a person can be righteous (יִצְדָּ֑ק, yiṣ-dāq) before God (Job 9:2), which refers back to Eliphaz's question in Job 4:17, but here in the sense of how one can "be in the right" before God, rather than "be declared to be right" by God.
