16:9His22 anger has torn me23 and persecuted24 me;
he has gnashed at me with his teeth;
my adversary locks25 his eyes on me.
Footnotes
- 22 The referent of these pronouns in v. 9 (“his anger … he has gnashed … his teeth … his eyes”) is best taken as God.
- 23 The figure used now is that of a wild beast. God’s affliction of Job is compared to the attack of such an animal. Cf. Amos 1:11.
- 24 The verb שָׂטַם (satam) is translated “hate” in the , but this is not accepted by very many. Many emend it to שָׁמט (shamat), reading “and he dropped me” (from his mouth). But that suggests escape. D. J. A. Clines notes that usage shows it reflects ongoing hatred represented by an action such as persecution or attack (Job [], ).
- 25 The verb is used of sharpening a sword in Ps 7:12; here it means “to look intently” as an animal looks for prey. The verse describes God’s relentless pursuit of Job.
