3:12 OSHB note: Marks a place where we agree with BHQ against BHS in reading L.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

דָּרַ֤ךְ קַשְׁת⁠וֹ֙ וַ⁠יַּצִּיבֵ֔⁠נִי

(Some words not found in UHB: bent bow_of,his and,he,has_set_me_up like,target for,arrow )

Here the writer is speaking of God as if he were an archer who bent his bow and aimed at him as a target. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [He prepared to attack me and made me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

כַּ⁠מַּטָּרָ֖א לַ⁠חֵֽץ

(Some words not found in UHB: bent bow_of,his and,he,has_set_me_up like,target for,arrow )

The point of this comparison is that just as a target is set up to be struck by arrows, so God has set the writer up to receive his arrows of affliction. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [as something to be struck by the arrow]

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
