9:16If I summoned him, and he answered me,48

that he would be listening to my voice—
Footnotes
- 48 The idea of “answer” in this line is that of responding to the summons, i.e., appearing in court. This preterite and the perfect before it have the nuance of hypothetical perfects since they are in conditional clauses ( §111.x). D. J. A. Clines (Job [], ) translates literally, “If I should call and he should answer.”
- 49 The Hiphil imperfect in the apodosis of this conditional sentence expresses what would (not) happen if God answered the summons.
