Anticipation of Death

17:10“But turn, all of you,21 and come22 now!23

I will not find a wise man among you.

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 21 The form says “all of them.” Several editors would change it to “all of you,” but the lack of concord is not surprising; the vocative elsewhere uses the third person (see Mic 1:2; see also §135.r).
  2. 22 The first verb, the jussive, means “to return”; the second verb, the imperative, means “to come.” The two could be taken as a hendiadys, the first verb becoming adverbial: “to come again.”
  3. 23 Instead of the exact correspondence between coordinate verbs, other combinations occur—here we have a jussive and an imperative (see §120.e).
