Job 6:23
deliver me from the hand of the enemy; redeem me from the grasp of the ruthless’?
BSB
ASV
Or, Deliver me from the adversary’s hand? Or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?
KJV
Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
Or, deliver me from the enemies' hand?.... Or, "out of the hand of straitness" (c); out of tribulation and difficulties with which he was pressed on every side: or redeem me from the hand of the mighty? fetch back his cattle out of the hands of the Sabeans and Chaldeans, either by force of arms, as Abraham brought back Lot, and all his goods, when taken and carried away by the four king's, or by giving a ransom price for them.
Or, Deliver me out of the enemy’s hand? - At no time have I called on you to rescue me from a foe. Or, Redeem me? - That is, rescue me from the hand of robbers. The meaning is, that he was in no way beholden to them; he had never called on them for assistance; and there was therefore no claim which they could now have to afflict him further by their reflections. There seems to be something peevish in these remarks; and we need not attempt to justify the spirit which dictated them.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
