31:23For the calamity from God was a terror to me,38
and by reason of his majesty39 I was powerless.
Footnotes
- 38 The has “For the terror of God restrained me.” Several commentators changed it to “came upon me.” Driver had “The fear of God was burdensome.” I. Eitan suggested “The terror of God was mighty upon me” (“Two unknown verbs: etymological studies,” 42 [1923]: 22–28). But the makes clear sense as it stands.
- 39 The form is וּמִשְּׂאֵתוֹ (umissé’eto); the preposition is causal. The form, from the verb נָשָׂא (nasa’, “to raise; to lift high”), refers to God’s exalted person, his majesty (see Job 13:11).
