Default re Job 12:5

A commentary from the E.SWORD program on the verse is as follows;

Job 12:5 - Slip with his feet - And fall into trouble; tho' he had formerly shone as a lamp, he is then looked upon as a lamp going out, as the snuff of a candle, which we throw to the ground and tread upon; and accordingly is despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

Quote "When I said "(and they had never seen dinosaurs)" I was referring to the translators, not to Job."

Sorry, I misunderstood you.

But doesnt this just highlight the integrity of the translators? All these highly educated men, never having seen the creature that they is described in the texts that they are translating, yet they resist the temptation to "correct" the mysterious description and carry on translating the words just as they believe God intended them to be.

Contrast this humble approach to Gods word with modern "scholars" and their perversions of translation.
