NETBible

Whether it is for punishment¹ for his land, or whether it is for mercy, he causes it to find its mark.²

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “rod,” i.e., a rod used for punishment.

²tn This is interpretive; Heb “he makes find it.” The lightning could be what is intended here, for it finds its mark. But R. Gordis (Job, 429) suggests man is the subject – let him find what it is for, i.e., the fate appropriate for him.
