The Key Word — הִ֭שְׁפִּילוּ, Hish.pi.lugenerated
The verb שָׁפֵל (shaphel) is in the Hiphil form, indicating a causative action — to bring someone low or to humble. It captures both the physical act of lowering and the figurative sense of humbling oneself. In this context, it speaks to the experience of being brought low, which is a recurring theme in the wisdom literature of the Bible.
The focus on humility is significant. Job suggests that when individuals are humbled, there is a call to lift them up, which aligns with the biblical principle of God favoring the humble and resisting the proud. The act of lifting up is not just a physical action but a moral and spiritual imperative.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is יוֹשִֽׁעַ, he will save, which governs the entire sentence. The structure is built around the conditions of humility and the response to it, with a sequence of clauses that describe the state of being brought low and the subsequent call to lift up.
The syntax highlights a cause-and-effect relationship: when men are brought low and called to be lifted up, God's action of saving follows. This structure emphasizes the interconnectedness of human humility and divine salvation.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הִ֭שְׁפִּילוּ with ὑπερηφανεύσατο, which carries the connotation of pride. This choice indicates a potential interpretative shift, focusing on the contrast between humility and pride, suggesting that God saves those who are humble and not proud.
The Greek text's emphasis on pride may reflect a broader understanding of the lowly as those who recognize their need for God, contrasting with the proud who rely on their own strength.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads: כִּֽי־ הִ֭שְׁפִּילוּ וַתֹּ֣אמֶר גֵּוָ֑ה וְשַׁ֖ח עֵינַ֣יִם יוֹשִֽׁעַ׃. The Septuagint aligns with this closely, with 6 of the 7 words matched, indicating a strong agreement in the core message of the verse.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
