NETBible

For you 1  will forget your trouble; 2  you will remember it like water that 3  has flowed away.

NET Notes

1 tn For a second time (see v. 13) Zophar employs the emphatic personal pronoun. Could he be providing a gentle reminder that Job might have forgotten the sin that has brought this trouble? After all, there will come a time when Job will not remember this time of trial.

2 sn It is interesting to note in the book that the resolution of Job’s trouble did not come in the way that Zophar prescribed it.

3 tn The perfect verb forms an abbreviated relative clause (without the pronoun) modifying “water.”
