Job 37:13

New English Translation

¹³Whether it is for punishment,^[a]
or for his land,
or for mercy,
he causes it to find its mark.^[b]

Job 37:13 tn Heb “rod,” i.e., a rod used for punishment.
Job 37:13 tn This is interpretive; Heb “he makes find it.” The lightning could be what is intended here, for it finds its mark. But R. Gordis (Job, 429) suggests man is the subject—let him find what it is for, i.e., the fate appropriate for him.
