16:8You have seized me,19
and it20 has become a witness;
my leanness21 has risen up against me
and testifies against me.
Footnotes
- 19 The verb is קָמַט (qamat) which is used only here and in 22:16; it means “to seize; to grasp.” By God’s seizing him, Job means his afflictions.
- 20 The subject is “my calamity.”
- 21 The verb is used in Ps 109:24 to mean “to be lean”; and so “leanness” is accepted here for the noun by most. Otherwise the word is “lie, deceit.” Accordingly, some take it here as “my slanderer” or “my liar” (gives evidence against me).
