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.

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 / metaphor
לֹא־יָדַ֣ע שָׁלֵ֣ו בְּבִטְנ֑וֹ
not knowing quiet in/on/at/with,bellies,his
Here, the belly or stomach represents a person’s desires, and specifically in this context, greedy desires. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he has not experienced the satisfaction of his greedy desires”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
לֹא־יָדַ֣ע שָׁלֵ֣ו בְּבִטְנ֑וֹ
not knowing quiet in/on/at/with,bellies,his
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of satisfaction, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “he could never satisfy his greedy desires”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
בַּ֝חֲמוּד֗וֹ לֹ֣א יְמַלֵּֽט
in/on/at/with,desires,he not escape
Zophar is using the adjective desired as a noun to mean a certain kind of thing. The ULT adds the word thing to show that. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “he will not rescue any of the things that he desired”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
בַּ֝חֲמוּד֗וֹ לֹ֣א יְמַלֵּֽט
in/on/at/with,desires,he not escape
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this with a positive expression. Alternate translation: “he will lose all of the things that he desired”
