Job 14:3

Context

14:3 Do you fix your eye 1  on such a one? 2 

And do you bring me 3  before you for judgment?

1 tn Heb “open the eye on,” an idiom meaning to prepare to judge someone.

2 tn The verse opens with אַף־עַל־זֶה (’af-al-zeh), meaning “even on such a one!” It is an exclamation of surprise.

3 tn The text clearly has “me” as the accusative; but many wish to emend it to say “him” (אֹתוֹ, ’oto). But D. J. A. Clines rightly rejects this in view of the way Job is written, often moving back and forth from his own tragedy and others’ tragedies (Job [WBC], 283).
