Job 6:28

“Now then, be good enough to look ¹  at me; ²  and I will not ³  lie to your face!

"But now be so kind as to look at me. Would I lie to your face?

"Now please look at me, And see if I lie to your face.

Look at me! Would I lie to your face?

"Look me in the eyes! Do you think I'd lie to your face?

Now then, let your eyes be turned to me, for truly I will not say what is false to your face.

"But now, be pleased to look at me; for I will not lie to your face.

Now therefore, be pleased to look at me; For I would never lie to your face.

“Now then, be good enough to look ¹  at me; ²  and I will not ³  lie to your face!

¹ tn The second verb, the imperative “turn,” is subordinated to the first imperative even though there is no vav present (see GKC 385-87 §120.a, g).

² tn The line has “and now, be pleased, turn to me [i.e., face me].” The LXX reverses the idea, “And now, having looked upon your countenances, I will not lie.” The expression “turn to me” means essentially to turn the eyes toward someone to look at him.

³ tn The construction uses אִם (’im) as in a negative oath to mark the strong negative. He is underscoring his sincerity here. See M. R. Lehmann, “Biblical Oaths,” ZAW 81 (1969): 74-92.
