‏ Job 7:21

21 And why do you not pardon my transgression
and take away my iniquity?
For now I will lie down in the dust, ^{▼▼tn The LXX has, “for now I will depart to the earth.”}
and you will seek me diligently, ^{▼▼tn The verb שָׁחַר (shakhar) in the Piel has been translated “to seek early in the morning” because of the possible link with the word “dawn.” But the verb more properly means “to seek diligently” (by implication).}
but I will be gone.”
