Job 17:13

17:13 If ¹  I hope for the grave to be my home,

if I spread out my bed in darkness,

[17:13]  ¹ tn The clause begins with אִם (’im) which here has more of the sense of “since.” E. Dhorme (Job, 253) takes a rather rare use of the word to get “Can I hope again” (see also GKC 475 §150.f for the caveat).
