Job 34:36

36. My desire The word אבי , which also signifies “my father,” is probably cognate with the root, אבה , “to desire,” and is correctly rendered in the text. In the Arabic, to the present time, the vernacular abi is an expression for importunate imploring, and is kindred to abghi, a word used to express more moderate desire. Delitzsch, in loc., devotes some five pages to a learned treatise on this word.

For After the manner of wicked men. They use the same arguments, and utter the same complaints.
