NET © Notes |
1 sn Job is probably turning here to God, as is clear from v. 11 on. The NIV supplies the word “God” for clarification. It was God who breathed breath into man’s nostrils (Gen 2:7), and so God is called to remember that man is but a breath. 2 tn The word “that” is supplied in the translation. 3 tn The verb with the infinitive serves as a verbal hendiadys: “return to see” means “see again.” |
