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 as a tool 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.

(Terra, not cover blood mine, nor find in/into/on you(sg) place latendi clamor mine/my: )

16.19 Terra ne operias sanguinem meum. Peccanti homini dictum est: Terra es et in terram ibis; quæ se terra Redemptoris nostri sanguinem non abscondit quia unusquisque peccator redemptionis suæ pretium sumens, confitetur ac laudat, et quibus valet proximis innotescit. Terra etiam sanguinem ejus non operuit: quia sancta Ecclesia redemptionis suæ mysterium in cunctis jam mundi partibus prædicavit. Neque inveniat in te locum latendi clamor meus. Ibid. Clamor Redemptoris nostri est sanguis redemptionis, qui a fidelibus sumitur, qui, ut ait Apostolus, melius loquitur quam sanguis Abel: quia sanguis Abel mortem fratricidæ petiit, sanguis Domini vitam persecutoribus impetravit. Qui clamor locum latendi invenit in nobis, si quod mens credidit, lingua tacet.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בַ⁠שָּׁמַ֣יִם עֵדִ֑⁠י וְ֝⁠שָׂהֲדִ֗⁠י בַּ⁠מְּרוֹמִֽים

in=the_heavens witness_of,my and,advocate_of,my in/on/at/with,high

See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter to decide how to translate the terms witness and advocate, which both describe the same person, someone whom Job expects will intercede for him in heaven. Alternate translation: [the person who has taken my side is pleading my case to God in heaven]

Note 2 topic: translate-plural

בַּ⁠מְּרוֹמִֽים

in/on/at/with,high

Job is using the term heights to mean heaven, which is high above the earth. The plural form probably identifies these heights as the supreme example of their class. That is, while being on top of a mountain gives someone a commanding position, ruling from heaven gives God the supremely commanding position. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [is in highest heaven] or [is in heaven, where he rules supremely]
