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.

16:17 done no wrong (or done no violence; Hebrew lo’-khamas): If violence is the meaning, Job was possibly denying that he was a formidable warrior who should be attacked (16:12-14; see also Isa 59:6; Jon 3:8).
• Contrary to Eliphaz’s charge (Job 15:4-5) and Bildad’s assumption (8:6), Job’s prayer was pure because he was innocent (Gen 20:5; Isa 59:3).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
לֹא־חָמָ֣ס בְּכַפָּ֑י
not violence/cruelty in/on/at/with,hands,my
Job is using one part of himself, his hands, to mean all of him in the potential act of committing violence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I have not committed any violence”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
זַכָּֽה
pure
Job is speaking as if his prayer were literally pure, that is, as if it were a physical substance that had nothing else mixed in. He means that when he prays, he means just what he says and he has no other motives other than sincerely speaking with God. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “is sincere”
