Job 10:7

although you know ¹  that I am not guilty, and that there is no one who can deliver ²  out of your hand?

De 32:39; Job 23:10; Job 23:13,14; Job 31:6,14,35; Job 42:7; Ps 1:6; Ps 7:3,8,9; Ps 17:3; Ps 26:1-5; Ps 50:22; Ps 139:1,2,21-24; Da 3:15; Ho 2:10; Joh 10:28-30; Joh 21:17; 2Co 1:12; 1Th 2:10

¹ tn Heb עַל־דַּעְתְּךָ (’al da’tÿkha, “upon your knowledge”). The use of the preposition means basically “in addition to your knowledge,” or “in spite of your knowledge,” i.e., “notwithstanding” or “although” (see GKC 383 §119.aa, n. 2).

² tn Heb “and there is no deliverer.”

sn The fact is that humans are the work of God’s hands. They are helpless in the hand of God. But it is also unworthy of God to afflict his people.
