31:7 Note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.
OET (OET-RV) If I have stepped off the path,
⇔ or my thoughts have followed my eyes,
⇔ or any stain can be seen on my hands,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
אִ֥ם תִּטֶּ֣ה אַשֻּׁרִי֮ מִנִּ֪י הַ֫דָּ֥רֶךְ
if turned step,my from the,way
Job is using one part of himself, a step that he would take, to mean all of him in the act of walking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “if I have turned aside from the way”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אִ֥ם תִּטֶּ֣ה אַשֻּׁרִי֮ מִנִּ֪י הַ֫דָּ֥רֶךְ
if turned step,my from the,way
Job is speaking of the right manner in which to live as if it were a way or path that people should walk along. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “if I have failed to live correctly”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
לִבִּ֑י & מֻאֽוּם
heart,my & spot
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: “if my heart … if a spot”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
וְאַחַ֣ר עֵ֭ינַי הָלַ֣ךְ לִבִּ֑י
and=after eyes,my walked heart,my
Job is speaking of his heart and his eyes as if they were living things that could go places, the eyes going somewhere first and the heart following. Here Job is using his heart to mean his desires and his eyes to mean what he sees. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “or if I have seen something that did not belong to me but I have coveted it for myself”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּ֝בְכַפַּ֗י דָּ֣בַק מֻאֽוּם
and,in/on/at/with,hands,my clung spot
As in 17:9, Job is speaking as if people who are innocent of wrongdoing literally have clean hands, so that when he speaks of a spot or stain having stuck to his hands, he is raising the issue of whether he has done something wrong. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “or I have done something morally wrong”
31:1-40 Job called down curses on himself if he were guilty of the accusations made against him. Except for his mention of idolatry (31:26-27), Job addressed his fidelity to God in terms of the second half of the Ten Commandments, summarized by the command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Lev 19:18; Rom 13:9).

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.
