Job 31:14

then what will I do when God confronts me in judgment; ¹  when he intervenes, ²  how will I respond to him?

Job 9:32; Job 10:2; Ps 7:6; Ps 9:12,19; Ps 10:12-15; Ps 44:21; Ps 76:9; Ps 143:2; Isa 10:3; Ho 9:7; Mic 7:4; Zec 2:13; Mr 7:2; Ro 3:19; Jas 2:13

¹ tn Heb “arises.” The LXX reads “takes vengeance,” an interpretation that is somewhat correct but unnecessary. The verb “to rise” would mean “to confront in judgment.”

² tn The verb פָקַד (paqad) means “to visit,” but with God as the subject it means any divine intervention for blessing or cursing, anything God does that changes a person’s life. Here it is “visit to judge.”
