Job 13:28

Context

13:28 So I 1  waste away like something rotten, 2 

like a garment eaten by moths.

1 tn Heb “and he.” Some of the commentators move the verse and put it after Job 14:2, 3 or 6.

2 tn The word רָקָב (raqav) is used elsewhere in the Bible of dry rot in a house, or rotting bones in a grave. It is used in parallelism with “moth” both here and in Hos 5:12. The LXX has “like a wineskin.” This would be from רֹקֶב (roqev, “wineskin”). This word does not occur in the Hebrew Bible, but is attested in Sir 43:20 and in Aramaic. The change is not necessary.
