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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כְּֽ֭גֶלֲלוֹ
like,dung,his_own
The point of this comparison may be the one that Zophar makes explicitly, that a wicked person will perish forever as dung perishes forever. However, the point of the comparison could also be that just as people consider dung a loathsome substance and dispose of it, people will consider a wicked person to be loathsome and not commemorate him in any way. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “and no on will commemorate him, because they consider him so loathsome”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
יֹאמְר֥וּ אַיּֽוֹ
say where,he
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “will ask where he has gone”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
אַיּֽוֹ
where,he
The people who are asking about the wicked person are 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: “He is gone completely!”
