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 / metaphor
יָ֭עוּף
fly_away
Zophar is speaking as if a wicked person would literally fly away. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He will vanish”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כַּחֲל֣וֹם
like,dream
The point of this comparison is that just as when a dream ends, the person who had the dream realizes that it was not real, so it will be as if the wicked person had never existed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “as if he had never existed”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
וְלֹ֣א יִמְצָא֑וּהוּ
and=not found,him
They is an indefinite pronoun that does not have a specific referent in the immediate context. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this with an equivalent expression that does not use an indefinite pronoun. Alternate translation: “and no one will be able to find him”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְ֝יֻדַּ֗ד
and,chased_away
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “he will flee”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְ֝יֻדַּ֗ד
and,chased_away
Zophar is speaking as if a wicked person would literally be chased away or flee. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and he will vanish”
