Job 7:21

Context

7:21 And why do you not pardon my transgression,

and take away my iniquity?

For now I will lie down in the dust, 1 

and you will seek me diligently, 2 

but I will be gone.”

1 tn The LXX has, “for now I will depart to the earth.”

2 tn The verb שָׁחַר (shakhar) in the Piel has been translated “to seek early in the morning” because of the possible link with the word “dawn.” But the verb more properly means “to seek diligently” (by implication).
