"And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace; And thou shalt visit thy fold, and shalt miss nothing." — Job 5:24 (ASV)
Sin. —The word rendered “sin” literally means also to miss the mark, as in (Judges 20:16), and that is probably its meaning here: You shall visit your dwelling-place, and miss nothing, since one does not see very clearly why the promise of not sinning is connected with visiting the habitation or fold.
