Job 21:32

21:32 And when he is carried to the tombs,

and watch is kept over the funeral mound,

Job 10:19

10:19 I should have been as though I had never existed;

I should have been carried

right from the womb to the grave!

Job 21:30

21:30 that the evil man is spared

from the day of his misfortune,

that he is delivered

from the day of God’s wrath?


tn The verb says “he will watch.” The subject is unspecified, so the translation is passive.

tn The Hebrew word refers to the tumulus, the burial mound that is erected on the spot where the person is buried.

sn This means “If only I had never come into existence.”

tn The verb means “to be led forth.” To be “led forth in the day of trouble” means to be delivered.
