Job 16:7

Context

16:7 Surely now he 1  has worn me out,

you have devastated my entire household.

Job 38:27

Context

38:27 to satisfy a devastated and desolate land,

and to cause it to sprout with vegetation? 2 

1 tn In poetic discourse there is often an abrupt change from person to another. See GKC 462 §144.p. Some take the subject of this verb to be God, others the pain (“surely now it has worn me out”).

2 tn Heb “to cause to sprout a source of vegetation.” The word מֹצָא (motsa’) is rendered “mine” in Job 28:1. The suggestion with the least changes is Wright’s: צָמֵא (tsame’, “thirsty”). But others choose מִצִּיָּה (mitsiyyah, “from the steppe”).
