‏ Job 27:7

The Condition of the Wicked

7 “May my enemy be like the wicked, ^{▼▼sn Of course, he means like his enemy when he is judged, not when he is thriving in prosperity and luxury.}
my adversary ^{▼▼tn The form is the Hitpolel participle from קוּם (qum): “those who are rising up against me,” or “my adversary.”} like the unrighteous. ^{▼▼tc The LXX made a free paraphrase: “No, but let my enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me as the destruction of transgressors.”}
