H3589 H3589
destruction, calamity; his disaster (with 3ms suffix; hapax)
This enigmatic noun appears only in Job 21:20, where Job describes the fate of the wicked: 'Let his own eyes see his destruction.' The Masoretic Text reads 'kido' (his destruction), but many scholars emend to 'pido' (his calamity/disaster), parallel to Job 12:5 and 31:29. The text's uncertainty reflects scribal transmission challenges in Job's notoriously difficult Hebrew. Either reading conveys the same essential idea: the wicked should personally witness their own downfall, experiencing firsthand the consequences of their evil. Job demands poetic justice.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Job 21:20 employs this disputed noun with third masculine suffix: 'his destruction.' Many scholars (following LXX and textual analysis) suggest emending to 'pido' (his disaster), which appears elsewhere in Job. English 'his-destruction' and Spanish 'su-destrucción' follow the Masoretic pointing, while French/German leave it untransliterated, reflecting textual uncertainty. Semantically belongs to vocabulary of violence and calamity. The suffix makes it personal: the wicked one's own destruction becoming visible to him. 1×
