6.9 Qui cœpit, ipse me conterat. GREG. in Job lib. 7. Conterit adversarius, et defecit a te homo. Conterit Deus, et fractus a vitiis in virtute solidatur. Qui ergo per flagella Deo appropriare desiderat, dicit: Qui cœpit, ipse conterat, quia aliquando incipit Deus contritionem vitiorum, et in ipso provectus initio homo extollitur, et sic hostis exclusus, gravior assumptis aliis spiritibus surripit, et virtutes conterit. Solvat manum, id est, exerceat effectum; dum enim inflatus longa prosperitate amorem suum per flagella non exercet, quasi manum ad ferienda vitia ligatam tenet, unde peccanti populo dicit: Jam non irascar tibi, et zelus meus recessit a te. Succidat me. Cum enim dolor vel tentatio non percutit, elatio mentis succisa cadit, ut jam quærat manum levantis.


6.9 Who cœpit, himself me conterat. GREG. in Yob lib. 7. Conterit adversarius, and defecit a you(sg) homo. Conterit God, and fractus a vitiis in virtute solidatur. Who ergo per flagella Deo appropriare desiderat, he_says: Who cœpit, himself conterat, because aliquando incipit God contritionem vitiorum, and in ipso provectus initio human extollitur, and so hostis exclusus, gravior assumptis aliis spiritibus surripit, and virtutes conterit. Solvat manum, id it_is, exerceat effectum; dum because inflatus longa prosperitate amorem his_own per flagella not/no exercet, as_if manum to ferienda vitia ligatam holds, whence peccanti populo he_says: Yam not/no irascar tibi, and zelus mine recessit a you(sg). Succidat me. Since because pain or tentatio not/no percutit, elatio mentis succisa cadit, as yam quærat manum levantis.

BRN Let the Lord begin and wound me, but let him not utterly destroy me.

BrLXX Ἀρξάμενος ὁ Κύριος τρωσάτω με, εἰς τέλος δὲ μή με ἀνελέτω.
  (Arxamenos ho Kurios trōsatō me, eis telos de maʸ me aneletō. )


TSNTyndale Study Notes:

6:9 At one time, both Moses and Elijah wished that God would kill them (Num 11:15; 1 Kgs 19:4).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וְ⁠יֹאֵ֣ל אֱ֭לוֹהַּ וִֽ⁠ידַכְּאֵ֑⁠נִי

and,willing god and,crush,me

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two verbs connected with and. The verb be willing tells in what way Job hopes God will crush him. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: “and may God willingly crush me” or “and may God agree to crush me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יַתֵּ֥ר יָ֝ד֗⁠וֹ

let_untie/release his/its=hand

Here, hand represents the capability of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “may he use his power”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וִֽ⁠יבַצְּעֵֽ⁠נִי

and,cut_~_off,me

Job is speaking as if he were a branch that God might cut … off from a tree in order to kill it. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and kill me”
