Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes: A Translation with Commentary
Presents a modern translation of the books of Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament, providing an annotation and commentary for each verse.
Reviews with the most likes.
Excellent translation and footnotes as always from Robert Alter. I was surprised by how bland Proverbs is to an adult reader, but Job and Ecclesiastes/Qoholet are surprisingly complex and subversive.
