JOB 11:11 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: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מְתֵי־שָׁ֑וְא

men worthless

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of worthlessness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “which people are worthless”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וַ⁠יַּרְא־אָ֝֗וֶן וְ⁠לֹ֣א יִתְבּוֹנָֽן

and=he/it_saw iniquity and=not consider

Zophar 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: “and he will surely notice iniquity when he sees it.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִתְבּוֹנָֽן

consider

The term notice implicitly means that God will do more than just take note of iniquity. It indicates that God will punish people for committing iniquity. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “punish people for it”
