Job's honor is turned into extreme contempt15. and his prosperity into calamity You snatch me up In this phrase, Job vividly describes his perception of God's actions towards him. The Hebrew root for "snatch" is "תָּפַשׂ" (taphas), which conveys a sense of being seized or captured suddenly and forcefully. This imagery reflects Job's feeling of being abruptly taken from a place of stability and thrust into turmoil. Historically, this aligns with the ancient Near Eastern understanding of divine intervention, where gods were often seen as having direct and immediate influence over human affairs. Job's use of this word underscores his belief in God's active role in his suffering, a theme that resonates throughout the book. and drive me before the wind You toss me about in the storm Parallel Commentaries ...
