13:19Who47 will contend with me?

If anyone can, I will be silent and die.48

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 47 The interrogative is joined with the emphatic pronoun, stressing “who is he [who] will contend,” or more emphatically, “who in the world will contend.” Job is confident that no one can bring charges against him. He is certain of success.
  2. 48 Job is confident that he will be vindicated. But if someone were to show up and have proof of sin against him, he would be silent and die (literally “keep silent and expire”).
