Job 4:14
fear and trembling came over me and made all my bones shudder.
BSB
ASV
Fear came upon me, and trembling, Which made all my bones to shake.
KJV
Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
Fear came upon me - Margin, “Met me.” The Chaldee Paraphrase renders this, “a tempest,” זיקא. The Septuagint, φρίκη frikē - “shuddering,” or “horror.” The sense is, that he became greatly alarmed at the vision. Which made all my bones to shake - Margin, as in Hebrew, the multitude of my bones. A similar image is employed by Virgil, Obstupuere auimis, gelidusque per ima cucurrit Ossa tremor; Aeneid ii. 120. “A cold tremor ran through all their bones.”
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
