Ayub 19:14

19:14 My kinsmen have failed me;

my friends ¹  have forgotten me. ² 

Ayub 30:23

30:23 I know that you are bringing ³  me to death,

to the meeting place for all the living.

[19:14]  ¹ tn The Pual participle is used for those “known” to him, or with whom he is “familiar,” whereas קָרוֹב (qarov, “near”) is used for a relative.

[19:14]  ² tn Many commentators add the first part of v. 15 to this verse, because it is too loaded and this is too short. That gives the reading “My kinsmen and my familiar friends have disappeared, they have forgotten me (15) the guests I entertained.” There is not much support for this, nor is there much reason for it.

[30:23]  ³ tn The imperfect verb would be a progressive imperfect, it is future, but it is also already underway.
