JOB 19:22 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.

ClVg Quare persequimini me sicut Deus, et carnibus meis saturamini?[fn]
(Quare persequimini me like God, and carnibus meis saturamini? )

19.22 Quare persequimini me. Tanto Deus justius aliena vitia percutit, quanto in se nihil habet vitiorum. Et est sensus: Ita me ex infirmitatibus meis affligitis, ac si ipsi more Dei de infirmitate nihil habeatis. Sicut Deus. Idem cum Deo agunt, quia hoc faciunt quod Deus omnipotens fieri permittit; sed non idem volunt: quia cum omnipotens Deus amando purgationem exhibet, injustorum pravitas sæviendo malitiam exercet. Vel, quasi non infirmi, qui non deberent increpare cum Deus percutit, ne addant dolorem dolori, sed consolari. Cum vero manus Domini cessat, tunc dignis increpatio potest fieri. Et de carnibus meis saturamini. Quorum mens proximorum pœnas esurit, saturari alienis carnibus quærit. Vel, qui alienæ vitæ detractione pascunt alienis carnibus saturantur. Quis mihi tribuat, etc. Dura quæ sustinet, non vult per silentium tegi, sed exemplo ad notitiam pertrahi ut alii ad patientiam valeant ædificari. Quis mihi tribuat. Ibid. Hæc quoque Ecclesiæ congruunt, etc., usque ad postea vero ipsum librum in laminam plumbi et in silicem dividit. Quis mihi det, etc. Per stylum ferreum fortis sententia Patrum. Per plumbum Judeæ populus gravis peccato. Per silicem gentilitas figuratur. Cuncta ergo quæ pertulit, forti sententia Patrum edoctus et Judææ populus, et gentilitas agnovit. Quod in plumbo scribitur, citius deletur. In silice difficile sculpitur, sed manet: sic Judæa verba Dei cito recepit, et cito deseruit. Gentilitas vix recepit, sed recepta fortiter servavit.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

לָ֭⁠מָּה תִּרְדְּפֻ֣⁠נִי כְמוֹ־אֵ֑ל וּ֝⁠מִ⁠בְּשָׂרִ֗⁠י לֹ֣א תִשְׂבָּֽעוּ

to/for=what pursue,me as god and,with,flesh,my not satisfied

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 these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “You should not pursue me as God would! You should be satisfied with my flesh!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

לָ֭⁠מָּה תִּרְדְּפֻ֣⁠נִי כְמוֹ־אֵ֑ל

to/for=what pursue,me as god

The point of this comparison is that just as God would pursue someone relentlessly to make sure that sin was punished appropriately, so Job’s friends have been relentlessly insisting that he has sinned. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “Why do you insist relentlessly that I have sinned” or, as a statement, “You should not insist relentlessly that I have sinned”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וּ֝⁠מִ⁠בְּשָׂרִ֗⁠י לֹ֣א תִשְׂבָּֽעוּ

and,with,flesh,my not satisfied

Job is likely alluding to a popular expression. In this culture, if someone accused another person maliciously, people said that he was “eating the pieces” of that person. Job is suggesting that his friends are ”eating“him in this sense (that is, accusing him maliciously) and they are not yet satisfied with the amount of his flesh that they have ”eaten.“If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And will you never stop accusing me maliciously” or, as a statement, “Yes, you should stop accusing me so maliciously”
