Commentary on Job, part 9

The next section of the commentary is on a phrase that is peculiar to the Septuagint:

“and the arrogance of the serpents is extinguished” (4:11)

Perhaps the anger and vice and pride in your spirit have been extinguished. These are the nourishment of Satan, who is allegorized in the ant-lion. This will be destroyed.

Perhaps it is proper to apply the principle of lectio difficilior in order to infer that "ant-lion" is the proper reading of the Biblical text? That seems more plausible than to presume a translation error on the part of the LXX.
