Pere,
The last word in Jb 15:21 is YBW)NW
יבואנו
This is the result of merging of an INtransitive verb + personal
pronoun.
How can this be explained?
From our viewpoint it seems a nonsense: *He will come him*.
Any thoughts?



The pronomial object suffix on a verb can represent the indirect object as well as the direct object. Context must guide. Here it is the indirect object. One destroying will come to him.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
