uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

כִּ֤י

that/for/because/then/when

Job is using the word For to introduce the reason why he would not commit adultery, not the reason why judges would punish adultery. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “I would not commit adultery, because I know that”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

אֵ֣שׁ הִ֭יא

fire she/it

The pronoun it refers to adultery. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “adultery is a fire”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֵ֣שׁ הִ֭יא

fire she/it

Job is speaking as if adultery were literally a fire. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “it is very destructive”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עַד־אֲבַדּ֣וֹן תֹּאכֵ֑ל

until abaddon you(ms)_will_eat

Job is speaking of the fire that he is using to represent adultery as if it burns everything in its path right down to the underworld. As a note to 26:6 explains, the word Abaddon is another name for Sheol. However, the word literally means “destruction,” and Job may be using it in that sense, even within the image of this fire. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “it burns until everything before it is completely destroyed”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּֽ⁠בְ⁠כָל־תְּב֖וּאָתִ֣⁠י תְשָׁרֵֽשׁand it would uproot all of my harvest

and=on/over=all harvest,my (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when fire she/it until abaddon you(ms)_will_eat and=on/over=all harvest,my uproot )

Job is also speaking as if adultery were something that would uproot his entire harvest. He is probably using this image to represent the loss of all of his possessions. Proverbs 6:26–35 indicates that in this culture, men found guilty of adultery could have to pay great amounts in fines and compensation. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and it could cost me all of my possessions” or “and it could make me lose all of my wealth”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

31:12 The association of fire with hell or the grave is rare in the Old Testament (cp. Deut 32:22).
