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 / rquestion
וְ֭אֵיךְ תְּנַחֲמ֣וּנִי הָ֑בֶל
and,how comfort,me Heⱱel/(Abel)
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 this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You are comforting me in vain!”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וּ֝תְשֽׁוּבֹתֵיכֶ֗ם נִשְׁאַר־מָֽעַל
and,answers,your_all's left falsehood
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. Job is saying that once he disregards everything that seems to be present in his friends’ answers but is not actually present, falsehood is the only thing that will remain. Alternate translation: “And your answers are nothing but falsehood”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
וּ֝תְשֽׁוּבֹתֵיכֶ֗ם נִשְׁאַר־מָֽעַל
and,answers,your_all's left falsehood
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of falsehood, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “And what you are saying in answer to me is entirely false”
