Job 21:6

For, when I think ¹  about this, I am terrified ²  and my body feels a shudder. ³ 

Ps 77:3; Ps 88:15; Ps 119:120; La 3:19,20; Hab 3:16

¹ tn The verb is זָכַר (zakhar, “to remember”). Here it has the sense of “to keep in memory; to meditate; to think upon.”

² tn The main clause is introduced here by the conjunction, following the adverbial clause of time.

³ tn Some commentators take “shudder” to be the subject of the verb, “a shudder seizes my body.” But the word is feminine (and see the usage, especially in Job 9:6 and 18:20). It is the subject in Isa 21:4; Ps 55:6; and Ezek 7:18.
