OET (OET-RV) ⇔ Listen, you’re not right about this.
⇔ I’ll tell you that God is greater than any person.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
זֹ֣את
this(f)
By this, Elihu seems to mean Job’s belief that God was not treating him fairly, which Elihu has just summarized. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “in thinking that God is not treating you fairly,”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
זֹ֣את לֹא־צָדַ֣קְתָּ & כִּֽי־יִרְבֶּ֥ה אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַ מֵאֱנֽוֹשׁ
this(f) not right & that/for/because/then/when greater god than,man
If it would be more natural in your language, you could move this phrase to the start of the verse (after Behold), since it gives the reason why Elihu says that Job is not right. Alternate translation: “since God is greater than man, you have misunderstood how he is treating you”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
מֵאֱנֽוֹשׁ
than,man
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, here the masculine term man has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “than humans”
OET (OET-RV) ⇔ Listen, you’re not right about this.
⇔ I’ll tell you that God is greater than any person.
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.
