Job 13:10 — ExegesisTAB

The clause opens with the emphatic infinitive absolute hokheakh {הוֹכֵ֣חַ | hô-kē-aḥ} followed by the finite verb yokhiakh {יוֹכִ֣יחַ | yô-kî-aḥ}, a pattern of Hebrew verbal intensification conveying certainty (“will surely rebuke”). The direct object marker with suffix etkhem {אֶתְכֶ֑ם | ʾeṯ-kem} singles out the addressees. The conditional im-baseter {אִם־בַּסֵּ֗תֶר | ʾim-bas-sēṯer} introduces the circumstance, marking concealed action, and links to the idiom panim + tissaun {פָּנִים תִּשָּׂאֽוּן | pā-nîm tiś-šā-ʾûn}, “lift up faces,” indicating partiality. English renders the infinitive absolute with “surely” and preserves the if-clause to maintain the cause-and-effect relation between hidden favoritism and divine rebuke.
