3 tn The expression means that misfortune is right there to destroy him whenever there is the opportunity.
4 tn The term עָיֵף (’ayef) can be translated “weary,” “faint,” “exhausted,” or “tired.” Here it may refer to the fainting because of thirst – that would make a good parallel to the second part.
