textual location of Job 22:8

According to the Job translation by Greenstein (2019), Job 22:8 should be located following Job 22:14. He explains:

“Verse 8 is out of place, interrupting the mock tirade. It was apparently miscopied here because the scribe saw the word ‘arm’ in verse 9 and mistakenly copied verse 8, which also features the word ‘arm.’ Realizing his error, the scribe returned to verse 9 and continued copying. Verse 8 makes sense following verse 14.”
