Job 7:19

Context

7:19 Will you never 1  look away from me, 2 

will you not let me alone 3 

long enough to swallow my spittle?

1 tn Heb “according to what [= how long] will you not look away from me.”

2 tn The verb שָׁעָה (shaah, “to look”) with the preposition מִן (min) means “to look away from; to avert one’s gaze.” Job wonders if God would not look away from him even briefly, for the constant vigilance is killing him.

3 tn The Hiphil of רָפָה (rafah) means “to leave someone alone.”
