OET interlinear JOB 33:33

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

אִם

if

Elihu is implicitly drawing a contrast, suggesting that, on the other hand, Job may not have anything to say once he has listened to him further. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate the contrast explicitly in your translation. Alternate translation: [But if]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

אַתָּ֥ה שְֽׁמַֽע־לִ֑⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: if not you(ms) listen to=me silent and,I,will_teach_you wisdom )

For emphasis, Elihu is stating the pronoun you, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated listen. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. Alternate translation: [you be the one who listens while I speak]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חָכְמָֽה

wisdom

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wisdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what is wise]
