NET Notes

¹tn The emphasis is on “I” and “for myself.” No other will be seeing this vindication, but Job himself will see it. Of that he is confident. Some take לִי (li, “for myself”) to mean favorable to me, or on my side (see A. B. Davidson, Job, 143). But Job is expecting (not just wishing for) a face-to-face encounter in the vindication.

²tn Hitzig offered another interpretation that is somewhat forced. The “other” (זָר, zar) or “stranger” would refer to Job. He would see God, not as an enemy, but in peace.

³tn Heb “kidneys,” a poetic expression for the seat of emotions.

⁴tn Heb “fail/grow faint in my breast.” Job is saying that he has expended all his energy with his longing for vindication.
