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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

יִרְא֣וּ עֵינָ֣יו & כִּיד֑⁠וֹ

see (Some words not found in UHB: see eyes,his_own destruction,his and,of,wrath almighty drink )

Job is using one part of the wicked person, his eyes, to mean all of him in the act of seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Let him see his own destruction”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠מֵ⁠חֲמַ֖ת שַׁדַּ֣י יִשְׁתֶּֽה

and,of,wrath almighty drink

Job is speaking as if the wrath of the Almighty were a liquid that a wicked person could literally drink. He means that he wishes that wicked people would experience that wrath. Alternate translation: “and let him experience the wrath of the Almighty” or “and let the Almighty punish him in his wrath”
