JOB 13:19 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

מִי־ה֭וּא יָרִ֣יב עִמָּדִ֑⁠י

who? he/it contend with=me

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: “I do not believe that anyone could contend successfully with me”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

כִּֽי

that/for/because/then/when

Job is using the word For to describe what would happen under the condition he has just described. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “If someone does prove me wrong,”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

וְ⁠אֶגְוָֽע

and,die

See how you translated the similar expression in 3:11. Alternate translation: “and pass away”
