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.

together they_went troops_of,his and,thrown_up against,me siege_ramp_of,their and,encamp around at,tent_of,my

Job is speaking as if he were literally a city and God had sent troops to lay siege to that city, building ramps by which they could get over its walls. Job is likely speaking of the troubles he is experiencing as if they were soldiers whom God had sent to attack him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [God has made me experience many kinds of troubles, and they are causing me more and more distress]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יַּחֲנ֖וּ סָבִ֣יב לְ⁠אָהֳלִֽ⁠י

and,encamp around at,tent_of,my

Job continues the military image but changes it slightly when he speaks as if he were literally a tent around which an enemy army had encamped. Job may be picturing himself as one of a number of soldiers who are all staying in tents but whose camp an enemy army has surrounded. Or Job may be using the word tent simply to mean the place where he lives, that is, his life. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [yes, I am experiencing troubles in many different aspects of my life]
