Job 23:17
_ _ Because I was not taken away by death from the evil to come (literally, “from before the face of the darkness,” Isaiah 57:1). Alluding to the words of Eliphaz (Job 22:11), “darkness,” that is, calamity.
_ _ cut off — rather, in the Arabic sense, brought to the land of silence; my sad complaint hushed in death [Umbreit]. “Darkness” in the second clause, not the same Hebrew word as in the first, “cloud,” “obscurity.” Instead of “covering the cloud (of evil) from my face,” He “covers” me with it (Job 22:11). |
