Exegesis
The verse opens with the fronted construct chain baddei sheol {בַּדֵּי שְׁאֹל | baddê šĕʾôl} ‘bars of Sheol,’ foregrounding the place of descent before the verb tērādnāh {תֵּרַדְנָה | tērādnāh} ‘will it go down’ and intensifying the imagery of confinement. Although tērādnāh is a third person feminine plural form, the context renders it singular “it,” referring to Job’s hope. The interrogative structure continues into the second clause, framing a parallel question rather than a temporal statement.
In context — Job 17:16
Will it go down to the bars of Sheol ? Shall we rest together in the dust?
