Footnotes
- 8 The addition of the independent pronoun at the beginning of the sentence (“Is it I / against a man / my complaint”) strengthens the pronominal suffix on “complaint” (see §135.f).
- 9 The point seems to be that if his complaint were merely against men he might expect sympathy from other men; but no one dares offer him sympathy when his complaint is against God. So he will give free expression to his spirit (H. H. Rowley, Job [], 147).
- 10 On disjunctive interrogatives, see §150.g.
- 11 Heb “why should my spirit/breath not be short” (see Num 21:4; Judg 16:16).
