OET (OET-LV) If/because not he_knows ease in/on/at/with_bellies_his in/on/at/with_desires_he not he_delivers.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לֹא־יָדַ֣ע שָׁלֵ֣ו בְּבִטְנ֑וֹ
not knowing quiet in/on/at/with,bellies,his
Here, the belly or stomach represents a person’s desires, and specifically in this context, greedy desires. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he has not experienced the satisfaction of his greedy desires”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
לֹא־יָדַ֣ע שָׁלֵ֣ו בְּבִטְנ֑וֹ
not knowing quiet in/on/at/with,bellies,his
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of satisfaction, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “he could never satisfy his greedy desires”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
בַּ֝חֲמוּד֗וֹ לֹ֣א יְמַלֵּֽט
in/on/at/with,desires,he not escape
Zophar is using the adjective desired as a noun to mean a certain kind of thing. The ULT adds the word thing to show that. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “he will not rescue any of the things that he desired”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
בַּ֝חֲמוּד֗וֹ לֹ֣א יְמַלֵּֽט
in/on/at/with,desires,he not escape
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this with a positive expression. Alternate translation: “he will lose all of the things that he desired”
20:20 Like the grave or death (Prov 27:20; 30:15-16), the wicked are always greedy and never satisfied (Eccl 5:19; Isa 57:20-21; Hab 2:5).
OET (OET-LV) If/because not he_knows ease in/on/at/with_bellies_his in/on/at/with_desires_he not he_delivers.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
