JOB 12:9 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 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 / rquestion

מִ֭י לֹא־יָדַ֣ע בְּ⁠כָל־אֵ֑לֶּה כִּ֥י יַד־יְ֝הוָה עָ֣שְׂתָה זֹּֽאת

who? not knowing in=all these that/for/because/then/when hand YHWH done this

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: “All of these know that the hand of Yahweh has done this!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

מִ֭י לֹא־יָדַ֣ע בְּ⁠כָל־אֵ֑לֶּה

who? not knowing in=all these

Job is speaking of the creatures he described in the previous two verses as if they could know what Yahweh has done. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Which of all these creatures could not tell you, if you could actually have a conversation with them,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יַד־יְ֝הוָה עָ֣שְׂתָה זֹּֽאת

hand YHWH done this

Here, hand represents the power and control that someone has over something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Yahweh has done this by his own power”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עָ֣שְׂתָה זֹּֽאת

done this

In context, the word this likely refers to the misfortune that Job is suffering. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “has caused my misfortune”
