JOB 11:10 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

יַחֲלֹ֥ף

passes_through

The pronoun he refers to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “God comes”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠יַסְגִּ֑יר וְ֝⁠יַקְהִ֗יל

and,imprisons and,convenes_a_court

Zophar is referring implicitly to God assembling a group to hear his accusations against someone and pass judgment on that person. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and imprisons someone and calls an assembly to judge that person”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וּ⁠מִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶֽ⁠נּוּ

and,who hinder,him

Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “then no one can turn him back..”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶֽ⁠נּוּ

and,who hinder,him

See how you translated this phrase in 9:12. Zophar is using Job’s own words against him, so it may be helpful to your readers to translate this phrase in the same way here. Alternate translation: “then who can stop him?” or “then no one can stop him!”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠מִ֣י יְשִׁיבֶֽ⁠נּוּ

and,who hinder,him

In 9:12 you may have included the implicit information that Job was saying that no one can stop God by telling him it would be wrong to do something. If so, here you may wish to indicate what Zophar is suggesting in response, that God knows right and wrong so much better than humans that God does not need to listen to humans about what he is doing. Alternate translation: “then who can stop him, since he knows so much better than humans and does not need to listen to them?” or “then no one can stop him, since he knows so much better than humans and does not need to listen to them!”
