Job 17:7 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Job 17:6      Job 17:8

Job 17:7

Darkened by indignation (inner anger – Hebr. kaas),
my eye [singular].
My formed body (my limbs, every part of my body)
is [thin, insubstantial] like a shadow.
[The verse is a chiasm in which the eye and the formed (Hebr. yatsor) are central. The description of the eyes becoming dim is often used in reference to aging, but here the eye is singular (Hebr. ayin), which, in addition to physical sight, can also describe how Job's entire worldview is darkened. The verb yatsar is used to describe shaping something, which here refers to all parts of the body, which have become empty and hollow like a thin shadow. The words darken and shadow frame the entire verse and reinforce the darkness Job feels he is in.]
