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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
כֻּלְּכֶֽם
all_of,you_all
As the context suggests, the word you is plural here because Job is using it to refer to his three friends. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
מְנַחֲמֵ֖י עָמָ֣ל
comforters_of miserable
Job is not using this possessive form to say that his friends are providing comfort to trouble. He is using the form to say that in their attempts to be his comforters, they are causing him further trouble. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [troublesome counselors]
