Job 32:22

32:22 for I do not know how to give honorary titles,

if I did, my Creator would quickly do away with me.


tn The construction uses a perfect verb followed by the imperfect. This is a form of subordination equivalent to a complementary infinitive (see GKC 385-86 §120.c).

tn Heb “quickly carry me away.”
