OET (OET-RV) They’re wealthy when they lie down, but that’s that—
⇔ when they open their eyes, it’s gone.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
עָשִׁ֣יר יִ֭שְׁכַּב & עֵינָ֖יו פָּקַ֣ח
wealth lies_down & eyes,his opens
Job is speaking of going to sleep and waking up by association with things that people do when they go to sleep (lie down in bed) and wake up (open their eyes). If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He goes to sleep rich … he wakes up”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
עָשִׁ֣יר יִ֭שְׁכַּב & עֵינָ֖יו פָּקַ֣ח
wealth lies_down & eyes,his opens
Job is making an overstatement to emphasize how quickly a wicked person loses his wealth. He is speaking as if that person would go to sleep rich and wake up with nothing, that is, as if he would lose all of his riches in a single night. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: “He may be rich … only a short time passes”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְלֹ֣א יֵאָסֵ֑ף
and=not do_so
Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “but he does not continue to be rich”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְאֵינֶֽנּוּ
and,is_gone,it
This expression means that the wicked person no longer has any possessions. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he discovers that he no longer has any possessions”
27:9-23 Some interpreters see a new speech here and ascribe it to Zophar because otherwise Zophar has no speech in this cycle.
OET (OET-RV) They’re wealthy when they lie down, but that’s that—
⇔ when they open their eyes, it’s gone.
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.
