JOB 12:3 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.

לֹא־נֹפֵ֣ל אָנֹכִ֣י מִ⁠כֶּ֑ם

not inferior I to,you_all

Job is using this expression to mean that he is not inferior to his friends. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. You could also state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I do not fall short of you” or “I am not inferior to you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וְ⁠אֶת־מִי־אֵ֥ין כְּמוֹ־אֵֽלֶּה
