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: writing-pronouns

לֹ֣א יַאֲמִ֑ין

not puts_~_trust

The pronoun he refers to God. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “God does not trust”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִּ֭⁠קְדֹשָׁיו

(Some words not found in UHB: if in/on/at/with,holy,his not puts_~_trust and,heavens not pure in/on/at/with,sight,his )

Eliphaz is using the expression holy ones to refer to the angels, by association with the way that angels are holy. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in his angels”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ֝⁠שָׁמַ֗יִם לֹא־זַכּ֥וּ

and,heavens not pure

Eliphaz is speaking as if things that are pure are literally clean, that is, not physically dirty. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the heavens are not pure”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ֝⁠שָׁמַ֗יִם לֹא־זַכּ֥וּ

and,heavens not pure

By the heavens, Eliphaz likely means the sky, which is a created object and therefore finite and incapable of perfection. It is unlikely that Eliphaz is referring to heaven, the abode of God, and saying that it is not clean, meaning “pure.” You could clarify this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and not even the sky is pure”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְ⁠עֵינָֽי⁠ו

in/on/at/with,sight,his

Eliphaz is using the term eyes by association to mean sight. Sight, in turn, represents attention, perspective, and judgment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from his perspective”
