This is for Steve Miller:

Steve, you were talking about LMW always having a plural referent. In Job 14:21 it could, but the translations seem to be taking it as singular (the final word in the verse):

NIV Job 14:21 If his sons are honored, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he does not see it.

So also NRSV, NET, HCSB, NASB, ESV, NKJV, Amplified, and NCV.

NAB does have "them."

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
