Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְֽאוּלָ֗ם מִֽי־יִתֵּ֣ן אֱל֣וֹהַּ דַּבֵּ֑ר וְיִפְתַּ֖ח שְׂפָתָ֣יו עִמָּֽךְ
and,but who? he/it_gave god speak and,open lips,his against,you
The question who will give introduces a wish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this question as a statement or exclamation expressing a wish, beginning here and continuing into the start of the next verse. Alternate translation: “I wish that God would speak and open his lips against you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
וְֽאוּלָ֗ם מִֽי־יִתֵּ֣ן אֱל֣וֹהַּ דַּבֵּ֑ר וְיִפְתַּ֖ח שְׂפָתָ֣יו עִמָּֽךְ
and,but who? he/it_gave god speak and,open lips,his against,you
The expressions speak and open his lips mean similar things. Zophar is using the two expressions together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “I dearly wish that God would tell you that you are wrong”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וְיִפְתַּ֖ח שְׂפָתָ֣יו
and,open lips,his
Zophar is using the first part of the talking process, opening one’s lips, to mean the entire process of talking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and talk”
11:5-6 punishing you . . . less than you deserve: Zophar believed that calamity indicated divine retribution for sins (cp. 34:36).
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
