Job 30:21

You have become cruel to me; ¹  with the strength of your hand you attack me. ² 

You turn on me ruthlessly; with the might of your hand you attack me.

"You have become cruel to me; With the might of Your hand You persecute me.

You have become cruel toward me. You persecute me with your great power.

You've turned into my tormenter--you slap me around, knock me about.

You have become cruel to me; the strength of your hand is hard on me.

You have turned cruel to me; with the might of your hand you persecute me.

But You have become cruel to me; With the strength of Your hand You oppose me.

You have become cruel to me; ¹  with the strength of your hand you attack me. ² 

¹ tn The idiom uses the Niphal verb “you are turned” with “to cruelty.” See Job 41:20b, as well as Isa 63:10.

² tc The LXX reads this verb as “you scourged/whipped me.” But there is no reason to adopt this change.
