OET (OET-RV) But those who obey will be able to stay on the correct road,
⇔ ≈and those who haven’t done anything wrong will become stronger.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
צַדִּ֣יק & וּֽטֳהָר־יָ֝דַ֗יִם
law-abiding/just & and,clean hands
Job is using the adjectives righteous and clean as nouns to mean certain kinds of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “righteous people … and people whose hands are clean”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְיֹאחֵ֣ז & דַּרְכּ֑וֹ
and,hold & its=road/course
Job is speaking of how God wants a person to live, or of the future that God has planned for a person, as if that were a way or path that God wants the person to walk along. When Job says that the righteous will hold his way, he means that that person will continue to walk along that path. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And … will continue to live as God desires”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּֽטֳהָר־יָ֝דַ֗יִם
and,clean hands
Job is speaking as if people who are innocent of wrongdoing have hands that are literally clean. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and innocent people”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יֹסִ֥יף אֹֽמֶץ
grow stronger
When Job says that innocent people will add strength, he means by this expression that they will continually grow stronger. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will grow stronger and stronger”
17:8-9 Some scholars view these verses as being out of place, but perhaps Job was ironically quoting his opponents’ words.
OET (OET-RV) But those who obey will be able to stay on the correct road,
⇔ ≈and those who haven’t done anything wrong will become stronger.
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.
