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.

15:17-19 before any foreigners arrived: Eliphaz’s contempt for foreign ideas is ironic because wisdom literature has a more international flavor than is characteristic of other Old Testament writings.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
אֲשֶׁר־חֲכָמִ֥ים יַגִּ֑ידוּ וְלֹ֥א כִֽ֝חֲד֗וּ מֵאֲבוֹתָֽם
which/who wise told and=not hidden from,ancestors,their
Eliphaz is not suggesting that the wise might have hidden something from their fathers. He means that they have declared what they learned from their fathers and not hidden any of it from the people of their own generation. It may be helpful to move the information that the wise have not hidden what they learned to the end of the sentence. Alternate translation: “what the wise have declared from their fathers and not hidden”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
חֲכָמִ֥ים
wise
Eliphaz is using the adjective wise as a noun to mean a certain group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “wise people”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
מֵאֲבוֹתָֽם
from,ancestors,their
Although the term fathers is masculine, Eliphaz is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “from their ancestors”
