Job 17:9
9 But the righteous man holds to his way,
and the one with clean hands grows stronger. ▼▼tn The last two words are the imperfect verb
יֹסִיף (
yosif) which means “he adds,” and the abstract noun “energy, strength.” This noun is not found elsewhere; its Piel verb occurs in
Job 4:4 and
16:5. “he increases strength.”
