Job 27:6-7

Context

27:6 I will maintain my righteousness

and never let it go;

my conscience 1  will not reproach me

for as long as I live. 2 

The Condition of the Wicked

27:7 “May my enemy be like the wicked, 3 

my adversary 4  like the unrighteous. 5 

1 tn Heb “my heart.”

2 tn The prepositional phrase “from my days” probably means “from the days of my birth,” or “all my life.”

3 sn Of course, he means like his enemy when he is judged, not when he is thriving in prosperity and luxury.

4 tn The form is the Hitpolel participle from קוּם (qum): “those who are rising up against me,” or “my adversary.”

5 tc The LXX made a free paraphrase: “No, but let my enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me as the destruction of transgressors.”
