23:16 Indeed, God has made my heart faint; 1
the Almighty has terrified me.
[23:16] 1 tn The verb הֵרַךְ (kherakh) means “to be tender”; in the Piel it would have the meaning “to soften.” The word is used in parallel constructions with the verbs for “fear.” The implication is that God has made Job fearful.
