Bible Comments

How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?

How long (like a jealous keeper)

Wilt thou never look away [shaa`aach, for depart] from me, nor let me alone for the briefest respite? -literally, so long as I take to swallow my spittle: an Arabic proverb like our until I draw my breath (Job 9:18).
