OET interlinear JOB 4:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מִ֤י ה֣וּא נָקִ֣י אָבָ֑ד וְ֝⁠אֵיפֹ֗ה יְשָׁרִ֥ים נִכְחָֽדוּ

who? he/it innocent perished and,where? (Some words not found in UHB: think now who? he/it innocent perished and,where? upright destroyed )

In both of these instances, Eliphaz is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate these questions as statements or exclamations. Alternate translation: [We cannot name one innocent person who has perished! And the righteous are never destroyed!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ֝⁠אֵיפֹ֗ה יְשָׁרִ֥ים נִכְחָֽדוּ

and,where? (Some words not found in UHB: think now who? he/it innocent perished and,where? upright destroyed )

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [And when has anyone destroyed the righteous]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

יְשָׁרִ֥ים

(Some words not found in UHB: think now who? he/it innocent perished and,where? upright destroyed )

Eliphaz is using the adjective righteous as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [righteous people]
