Job 27:22

27:22 It hurls itself against him without pity

as he flees headlong from its power.

Job 30:16

Job’s Despondency

30:16 “And now my soul pours itself out within me;

days of suffering take hold of me.


tn The verb is once again functioning in an adverbial sense. The text has “it hurls itself against him and shows no mercy.”

tn This line can either mean that Job is wasting away (i.e., his life is being poured out), or it can mean that he is grieving. The second half of the verse gives the subordinate clause of condition for this.
