online:<\/strong> 2019-12-01<br \/><strong>Published in print:<\/strong> 2019-12-30<\/p><p><strong>Abstract:<\/strong> Contrary to the usual translation as a rhetorical question, Job 1:10a is better understood as an ironic assertion. It may remain questionable whether \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4 should be considered in some cases as a non-interrogative and non-negative particle in Classical Hebrew rather than as a combination of \u05d4 + \u05d0\u05dc. However, it is beyond doubt that not rarely \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4 does not open up an interrogative clause but has an asseverative or presentative function. Among the criteria that have been suggested in recent research as indication of a non-interrogative use of \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4, two are of particular relevance: the fronting of the subject before the verb in verbal clauses and the sequence rhetorical question(s) \u2013 \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4-clause. Both criteria apply to the clause in Job 1:10a, which for that reason is best translated as a statement. Satan, through repetitions, contrasting comparisons and exaggeration, subtly transforms the statement about God\u2019s blessing of Job into an ironic critique of divine care and Job\u2019s piety.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b08a9df e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6b08a9df\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-249b6762 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"249b6762\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Keywords:<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-458e37f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"458e37f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article-keywords\">\n  <div class=\"kw-inline\">\n    Book of Job, rhetorical questions, irony, pragmatics, translation\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n  .article-keywords {\n    margin-top: 0.5rem; \/* odstup pod nadpisom *\/\n  }\n\n  .kw-inline {\n    font-size: 14px;\n    line-height: 1.6;\n  }\n\n  .kw-inline a {\n    color: #a73a2d;\n    text-decoration: none;\n  }\n\n  .kw-inline a:hover {\n    text-decoration: underline;\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n<script>\n  \/\/ z\u00e1klad pre vyh\u013ead\u00e1vanie (uprav, ak m\u00e1\u0161 in\u00fd tvar URL)\n  var SEARCH_BASE = '\/?s=';\n\n  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){\n    document.querySelectorAll('.kw-inline').forEach(function(el){\n      var raw = (el.textContent || '').trim();\n      if(!raw) return;\n\n      var terms = raw.split(',').map(function(s){ return s.trim(); }).filter(Boolean);\n\n      el.textContent = '';\n      terms.forEach(function(term, idx){\n        var a = document.createElement('a');\n        a.href = SEARCH_BASE + encodeURIComponent(term);\n        a.textContent = term;\n        a.rel = 'nofollow';\n        el.appendChild(a);\n\n        if(idx < terms.length - 1){\n          el.appendChild(document.createTextNode(', '));\n        }\n      });\n    });\n  });\n<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7df79203 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7df79203\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5a2939 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b5a2939\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56a0781b elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"56a0781b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article\"\r\n    data-title=\"Job, Victim of Ironies.
