In distress, in straits (prepositional phrase describing hardship and trouble)
This prepositional phrase appears in Job 36:19, a difficult passage where Elihu speaks about God's justice. The root 'tzar' means narrowness, straits, or distress, and with the preposition 'in' it describes a state of being in trouble or difficulty. This same root appears throughout Scripture in contexts of oppression, affliction, and tight circumstances. The metaphor of narrowness for distress is common in Hebrew thought, as opposed to spaciousness representing deliverance.

1. sense 1 — A prepositional phrase meaning 'in distress' or 'in straits,' built on the noun 'tzar' (narrowness, trouble) with the preposition beth. In Job 36:19, it appears in Elihu's discourse about whether riches or strength can deliver someone from affliction. The spatial metaphor of narrowness for distress pervades biblical Hebrew (compare Psalm 4:1, 'You gave me relief when I was in distress'). Multilingual renderings (en-angustia, in-distress, dans-בצר) capture both the spatial and emotional dimensions. 1×
