“For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?”
Job 14:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 14:16
Job contrasts potential future grace with present experience: 'For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?' In Job's imagination of restoration, God numbers steps not to judge but to guide. Yet presently, he feels God watches only to condemn. The Hebrew 'shamar' (watch over) can mean both 'guard protectively' and 'observe suspiciously.' Job longs for interpretation to shift from the latter to the former.
