NET Notes: Job 27:7

¹ sn Of course, he means like his enemy when he is judged, not when he is thriving in prosperity and luxury.

² tn The form is the Hitpolel participle from קוּם (qum): “those who are rising up against me,” or “my adversary.”

³ tc The LXX made a free paraphrase: “No, but let my enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me as the destruction of transgressors.”
