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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
מִֽי־יִ֭תֵּן הַחֲרֵ֣שׁ תַּחֲרִישׁ֑וּן
who? he/it_gave to_be_silent shut_up,
See how you translated the expression Who will give in [11:5–6](../11/05.md). Alternate translation: [I wish that being silent, you would be silent!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
הַחֲרֵ֣שׁ תַּחֲרִישׁ֑וּן
to_be_silent shut_up,
Job is repeating a verb that means to be silent in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [you would be completely silent]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
וּתְהִ֖י לָכֶ֣ם לְחָכְמָֽה
and,be to/for=you_all as,wisdom
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wisdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [That would be the wisest thing you could do]
