Imamat 26:36

26:36 “‘As for ¹  the ones who remain among you, I will bring despair into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a blowing leaf will pursue them, and they will flee as one who flees the sword and fall down even though there is no pursuer.

Ayub 11:16

11:16 For you ²  will forget your trouble; ³ 

you will remember it

like water that ⁴  has flowed away.

[26:36]  ¹ tn Heb “And.”

[11:16]  ² tn For a second time (see v. 13) Zophar employs the emphatic personal pronoun. Could he be providing a gentle reminder that Job might have forgotten the sin that has brought this trouble? After all, there will come a time when Job will not remember this time of trial.

[11:16]  ³ sn It is interesting to note in the book that the resolution of Job’s trouble did not come in the way that Zophar prescribed it.

[11:16]  ⁴ tn The perfect verb forms an abbreviated relative clause (without the pronoun) modifying “water.”
