Job 16:22

16:22 For the years that lie ahead are few, ¹ 

and then I will go on the way of no return. ² 

[16:22]  ¹ tn The expression is “years of number,” meaning that they can be counted, and so “the years are few.” The verb simply means “comes” or “lie ahead.”

[16:22]  ² tn The verbal expression “I will not return” serves here to modify the journey that he will take. It is “the road [of] I will not return.”
