JOB 19:2 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 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

עַד־אָ֭נָה תּוֹגְי֣וּ⁠ן נַפְשִׁ֑⁠י וּֽ⁠תְדַכְּאוּ⁠נַ֥נִי בְ⁠מִלִּֽים

until when? torment, self_of,me and,crush,me in/on/at/with,words

Job is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [You have afflicted my soul and crushed me with words for long enough!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

תּוֹגְי֣וּ⁠ן & וּֽ⁠תְדַכְּאוּ⁠נַ֥נִי

torment, & and,crush,me

The word you is plural here and through verse 5 because Job is addressing his three friends, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

נַפְשִׁ֑⁠י

self_of,me

Job is using one part of himself, his soul, to mean all of him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּֽ⁠תְדַכְּאוּ⁠נַ֥נִי בְ⁠מִלִּֽים

and,crush,me in/on/at/with,words

Job is speaking as if his friends could literally crush him with their words. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and discourage me deeply with your words]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְ⁠מִלִּֽים

in/on/at/with,words

Job is using the term words to mean what his friends have been saying by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [by what you have been saying]
