(c) used of one who regards and cares for any thing, followed by an acc., like circumspicere aliquid (fich nach etwas umfehn). Job 24:15, לֹא תְשֻׁרֵנִי עַיִן “no eye will now care for me,” niemand fieht fich jeßt nach mir um. Job 35:5, שׁוּר שְׁחָקִים “look round about upon the clouds.” Job 35:13, שַׁדַּי לֹא יְשׁוּרֶנָּה “the Almighty will not regard it.” Simply
