Job 11:20
But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; they will hope for their last breath.”
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
Note they shall…: Heb. flight shall perish from them
Note the giving…: or, a puff of breath
But the eyes of the wicked will fail. They will have no way to flee. Their hope will be the giving up of the spirit.”
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.
