Job 17:10

“But turn, all of you, ¹  and come ²  now! ³  I will not find a wise man among you.

Job 6:29; Job 15:9; Job 17:4; Job 32:9; Job 42:7; Mal 3:18; 1Co 1:20; 1Co 6:5

¹ tn The form says “all of them.” Several editors would change it to “all of you,” but the lack of concord is not surprising; the vocative elsewhere uses the third person (see Mic 1:2; see also GKC 441 §135.r).

² tn The first verb, the jussive, means “to return”; the second verb, the imperative, means “to come.” The two could be taken as a hendiadys, the first verb becoming adverbial: “to come again.”

³ tn Instead of the exact correspondence between coordinate verbs, other combinations occur – here we have a jussive and an imperative (see GKC 386 §120.e).
