Context — Job's Response to His Friendsgenerated
Job 15:12 is part of Job's reply to his friends, who have been offering their perspectives on his suffering. In this verse, Job questions the motivations behind his friend's emotional state, suggesting that their heart and eyes may be leading them away from understanding God's will. This reflects the broader theme of the book, where Job grapples with the nature of suffering and divine justice, inviting readers to consider the complexities of faith during trials.

The Key Word — יִּקָּחֲךָ֥, yi.ka.cha.Khagenerated
The verb יִּקָּחֲךָ֥ (yi.ka.cha.Kha) is a third person masculine singular form of the verb meaning 'to take'. It implies a sense of being taken away or led astray, indicating that the heart has a powerful influence over one's actions and decisions.
In this context, it suggests that the heart has taken control of the person, leading them away from rational thought or divine truth. The use of the suffix indicates that the subject is being directly addressed, emphasizing the personal nature of Job's inquiry.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb יִּקָּחֲךָ֥ governs the main clause, indicating the action of the heart. The structure is straightforward, with the subject being the heart and the object being the person being addressed.
The sentence follows a typical Hebrew structure, with the interrogative word מַה־ leading the inquiry, followed by the verb and its object, creating a clear question about the emotional state and actions of the listener.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates the verb יִּקָּחֲךָ֥ as ἐτόλμησεν, which means 'to dare' or 'to take'. This choice reflects a more interpretative approach, suggesting a boldness in the heart's actions rather than merely describing a passive state of being taken away.
This interpretation may indicate a deeper understanding of the emotional struggle, framing it as an active choice rather than a passive influence.

His demeanour and sentiments did away with all devoutness and religion. Such language as he uttered could be inspired only by deep evil in his heart; and was proof enough without anything more of his wickedness (Job 15:4-6).
