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 / explicit

בְּֽ⁠לֹא־י֭וֹמ⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,before time,his

Eliphaz assumes that Job will understand that by his day, he means the day for the wicked to die. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “When it is not his day to die” or “Before the time would have come for him to die”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

תִּמָּלֵ֑א

paid_in_full

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “this will happen”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ֝⁠כִפָּת֗⁠וֹ לֹ֣א רַעֲנָֽנָה

and,branch,his not flourish

Eliphaz is continuing the image from the previous verse of the wicked person being like a plant or bush. He is speaking of this plant or bush being alive by association with the way that its branches would be green inside if it were alive. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “yes, he will die”
