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.

פָּעֲר֬וּ עָלַ֨י ׀ בְּפִיהֶ֗ם
gaped at,me in/on/at/with,mouths,their
Opening the mouth wide at someone was a symbolic action that expressed ridicule. If there is a similar gesture in your culture, you could consider using it here in your translation. You could also indicate the meaning of this gesture. Alternate translation: “They open their mouths wide at me in order to ridicule me”
Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
בְּפִיהֶ֗ם
in/on/at/with,mouths,their
Since Job is speaking of many people, it may be more natural in your language to use the plural form of mouth. Alternate translation: “with their mouths”
