וְ֭אִיּוֹב & יִפְצֶה־פִּ֑יהוּ
and,Job & opens mouth,his
Elihu is using the first part of the speaking process, opening one’s mouth, to mean the entire process of speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “So Job speaks”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בִּבְלִי־דַ֝֗עַת
in/on/at/with,no knowledge
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of knowledge, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation, as in the UST: “without knowing what he is talking about”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִלִּ֥ין יַכְבִּֽר
words multiplies
Elihu is using the term words to mean what Job has been saying by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he says many things”
35:16 Elihu echoed his earlier accusation (34:35); later, God would agree (38:2).
OET (OET-LV) And_ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job) vanity he_opens mouth_his in/on/at/with_no knowledge words he_multiplies.
OET (OET-RV) So Iyyov opens his mouth for nothing.
⇔ ≈He says many words but doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
