Job 30:20

     20. stand up—the reverential attitude of a suppliant before a king (1Ki 8:14; Lu 18:11-13).

      not—supplied from the first clause. But the intervening affirmative "stand" makes this ellipsis unlikely. Rather, as in Job 16:9 (not only dost thou refuse aid to me "standing" as a suppliant, but), thou dost regard me with a frown: eye me sternly.

Lamentations 1:17

     17. Like a woman in labor-throes (Jer 4:31).

      menstruous woman—held unclean, and shunned by all; separated from her husband and from the temple (compare La 1:8; Le 14:19, &c.).

     Tzaddi.
