NET Notes: Job 37:13

¹ tn Heb “rod,” i.e., a rod used for punishment.

² tn This is interpretive; Heb “he makes find it.” The lightning could be what is intended here, for it finds its mark. But R. Gordis (Job, 429) suggests man is the subject – let him find what it is for, i.e., the fate appropriate for him.
