restored remove_~_far wickedness from,tent,your
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the phrase if you distance unrighteousness from your tent, like the phrase If you return to the Almighty, gives the reason for the result that would follow, you will be built up. Alternate translation: “if you distance unrighteousness from your tent, you will be built up”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
תִּבָּנֶ֑ה
restored
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “he will build you up”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
תִּבָּנֶ֑ה
restored
Eliphaz is speaking as if Job were a building that God would rebuild after it had been ruined. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “God will restore you to health and prosperity”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
תַּרְחִ֥יק עַ֝וְלָ֗ה מֵאָהֳלֶֽךָ
remove_~_far wickedness from,tent,your
Eliphaz is speaking as if unrighteousness were an object that Job could literally set at some distance from the tent in which he lives. In this image, the tent represents Job’s life. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “if you stop practicing unrighteousness in your life”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
תַּרְחִ֥יק עַ֝וְלָ֗ה מֵאָהֳלֶֽךָ
remove_~_far wickedness from,tent,your
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of unrighteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “if you stop doing unrighteous things”
22:23 return to the Almighty: Bildad (8:5-6) and Zophar (11:13-14) had already misapplied this biblical principle (Isa 55:6-7; Hos 14:1-2; Zech 1:3; Acts 26:20), and now Eliphaz also misapplies it.
