translationNotes

• Job continues to speak to his three friends.
• How we will persecute him - This is also a question requesting ways to make Job suffer. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion) AT: "How can we make him suffer as much as possible"
• because the root of the matter is found in him - AT: "and if you say that I am the cause of my own suffering." (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_idiom)
• then be afraid of the sword - The sword represents God's anger and judgement. (See: :en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_metonymy)
• because wrath brings the punishment - The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain. Possible meanings are 1) the things that Job's friends have been saying bring punishment or 2) God's anger brings punishment.
• there is a judgment - "God punishes sinners"
