Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
אֲֽנִי־רָ֭אִיתִי
I seen
For emphasis, Eliphaz is stating the pronoun I, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated have seen. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here. Other languages may have other ways of expressing this emphasis. The ULT does so by saying I myself. Alternate translation: “I have indeed seen”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
אֱוִ֣יל
fool
Job is using the adjective foolish 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: “a foolish person”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֱוִ֣יל
fool
In this context, the word foolish describes someone who does not respect and obey God. See how you translated the similar expression in 2:10. Alternate translation: “a person who does not respect and obey God”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מַשְׁרִ֑ישׁ
taking_root
Eliphaz is speaking as if this foolish person were literally taking root. He means that the person was becoming established or prospering. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “prospering”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
נָוֵ֣הוּ
dwelling,his
Eliphaz is referring to this foolish person’s way of life by association with the abode where he lives. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “his way of life”
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.
