| (0.61067954054054) | (Job 19:27) |
4 tn Heb “fail/grow faint in my breast.” Job is saying that he has expended all his energy with his longing for vindication. |
| (0.61067954054054) | (Job 20:21) |
1 tn Heb “for his eating,” which is frequently rendered “for his gluttony.” It refers, of course, to all the desires he has to take things from other people. |
| (0.61067954054054) | (Job 21:6) |

| (0.61067954054054) | (Job 23:9) |

| (0.61067954054054) | (Job 27:2) |
2 tn “My judgment” would here, as before, be “my right.” God has taken this away by afflicting Job unjustly (A. B. Davidson, Job, 187). |
