How long will it be ... swallow down my own saliva?

Here Job uses paralleism to emphasize his wish that God would stop watching him. Alternate translation: "Look away from me! Leave me alone long enough for me to swallow my own saliva!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)

saliva

liquid produced in people's mouths that keeps the mouth moist and helps to swallow food
