Job 17:10

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

"But come on, all of you, try again! I will not find a wise man among you.

"But come again all of you now, For I do not find a wise man among you.

"As for all of you, come back and try again! But I will not find a wise man among you.

"Maybe you'd all like to start over, to try it again, the bunch of you. So far I haven't come across one scrap of wisdom in anything you've said.

But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.

But you, come back now, all of you, and I shall not find a sensible person among you.

"But please, come back again, all of you, For I shall not find one wise man among you.

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

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).
