JOB 11:9 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 as a tool 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.

Zophar is using the two main components of creation below the heavens and above Sheol, the earth and the sea, to mean all of creation. This could mean: (1) that God’s wisdom is completely comprehensive, as if it were literally very long and very wide. Alternate translation: [Yes, God’s wisdom is completely comprehensive] (2) that God’s wisdom comprehends everything in creation. Alternate translation: [Yes, God’s wisdom comprehends all of creation]
