Sections marked generated are written from the data on this page rather than by a named author. Everything else — the lexicon entries, the cross references, the manuscript readings, the counts — is quoted from its source unchanged.
Context — Job's Lamentgenerated
Job 9:28 captures Job's deep sense of dread regarding his suffering and his belief that he cannot escape God's judgment. He feels overwhelmed by his circumstances and expresses a profound awareness of his guilt, which he believes precludes any hope of acquittal. This reflects the broader themes of suffering and divine justice found throughout the book of Job, where Job grapples with the nature of his afflictions and the perceived silence of God.

The Key Word — יָגֹר, ya.Go.re.tigenerated
The verb יָגֹר (ya.Gor) is a perfect form in the Qal stem, indicating a completed action in the first person singular. It conveys a strong sense of fear or dread, particularly in the context of divine power and judgment. Job's use of this word emphasizes his emotional state, as he feels the weight of his sufferings and the reality of his guilt.
This word appears in contexts where individuals experience awe or terror in the presence of God. In this verse, Job's dread is not just a fleeting emotion but a profound recognition of his situation before God, highlighting the seriousness of his plight.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

Sentence Structuregenerated
The main finite verb in this verse is יָגֹ֥רְתִּי, I dread, which governs the entire sentence.

The structure emphasizes Job's emotional response first, followed by his awareness of the consequences of that dread.
The sentence is built around Job's personal reflections, with the clauses arranged to show his feelings of fear and his understanding of his relationship with God. The order underscores the weight of Job's emotional turmoil as he grapples with his suffering.
