and pours out my gall37 on the ground.
Footnotes
- 34 The meaning of “his archers” is supported for רַבָּיו (rabbayv) in view of Jer 50:29. The , , , Job, followed by several translations and commentators prefer “arrows.” They see this as a more appropriate figure without raising the question of who the archers might be (see 6:4). The point is an unnecessary distinction, for the figure is an illustration of the affliction that God has brought on him.
- 35 Heb “and he does not pity,” but the clause is functioning adverbially in the line.
- 36 The verb פָּלַח (palakh) in the Piel means “to pierce” (see Prov 7:23). A fuller comparison should be made with Lam 3:12–13.
- 37 This word מְרֵרָתִי (mérerati, “my gall”) is found only here. It is close to the form in Job 13:26, “bitter things.” In Job 20:14 it may mean “poison.” The thought is also found in Lam 2:11.
