Job 10:21

Context

10:21 before I depart, never to return, 1 

to the land of darkness

and the deepest shadow, 2 

1 sn The verbs are simple, “I go” and “I return”; but Job clearly means before he dies. A translation of “depart” comes closer to communicating this. The second verb may be given a potential imperfect translation to capture the point. The NIV offered more of an interpretive paraphrase: “before I go to the place of no return.”

2 tn See Job 3:5.
