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 / metonymy

וְֽ⁠תִגְזַר־א֭וֹמֶר

and,decide_on matter

Eliphaz is using the term word to mean what Job might say by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “And you will say what you want to happen” or “And you will say what you plan to do”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠יָ֣קָם לָ֑⁠ךְ

and,established to/for=you(fs)

In this context, the word stand means “happen,” with the idea of surety and durability. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and it will certainly happen for you” or “and you will certainly be able to do it”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠עַל־דְּ֝רָכֶ֗י⁠ךָ נָ֣גַֽהּ אֽוֹר

and,on ways,your shine light

Eliphaz is speaking of the plans Job might want to carry out as if they were a series of paths that Job would be walking along. When he says that light will shine on these paths, he means that Job will know clearly how to carry out his plans. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and you will know clearly how to carry out your plans successfully”
