Job 8:20

New English Translation

²⁰“Surely, God does not reject a blameless man,^[a]

nor does he grasp the hand^[b]
of the evildoers.

Job 8:20 sn This is the description that the book gave to Job at the outset, a description that he deserved according to God’s revelation. The theme “God will not reject the blameless man” becomes Job’s main point (see 9:20-21; 10:3).
Job 8:20 sn The idiom “to grasp the hand” of someone means to support or help the person.
