JOB 16:7 Parallel Verse View

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: writing-pronouns

הֶלְאָ֑⁠נִי

worn_~_out,me

The pronoun he most likely refers to God, since the following pronoun you seems clearly to address God. Job seems to be referring to God in the third person in order to make a transition from speaking to his friends, and he then seems to be addressing God directly in the second person. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “you, God, have exhausted me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

הֲ֝שִׁמּ֗וֹתָ

devastated

The word you is singular here because Job is using it to refer to God. So use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
