JOB 13:4 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 / metaphor

אַתֶּ֥ם טֹֽפְלֵי־שָׁ֑קֶר

you_all use lies

Job is speaking as if his friends were literally plastering him with a lie, that is, coating him with untruth as if they were plastering a surface with it. Your language may have a similar expression that you could use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “you are smearing me with lies”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

רֹפְאֵ֖י אֱלִ֣ל כֻּלְּ⁠כֶֽם

physicians worthless all,you_all

Job is speaking as if his friends were literally doctors or healers who were trying to cure him of a disease but were failing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “none of you have helped me at all by what you have said”
