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: writing-pronouns

הֵ֤מָּה & לֹֽא־הִכִּ֥ירוּ & וְ⁠לֹ֥א יָ֝שְׁב֗וּ

they(emph) & not recognize & and=not stay

The pronoun They at the start of the verse and the two instances of the pronoun they later in the verse refer to the wicked people whom Job has been describing. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “These wicked people … these wicked people … and they do not stay”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

א֥וֹר

light

Job is speaking as if light were an authority and these wicked people were rebelling against it. Job is using light to represent what God has revealed to humans about how they should live. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “against God’s moral revelation”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לֹֽא־הִכִּ֥ירוּ דְרָכָ֑י⁠ו וְ⁠לֹ֥א יָ֝שְׁב֗וּ בִּ⁠נְתִיבֹתָֽי⁠ו

not recognize ways,its and=not stay in/on/at/with,paths,its

Job is speaking as if light maintained certain ways and paths that people should walk along. He means that God’s revelation shows people how they should conduct their lives. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they do not regard the manner of life that God has shown people they should follow; no, they live in a different way”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹֽא־הִכִּ֥ירוּ דְרָכָ֑י⁠ו

not recognize ways,its

Here the word regard means “look at” with the implication of looking with approval. Alternate translation: “they do not admire its ways”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

וְ⁠לֹ֥א יָ֝שְׁב֗וּ בִּ⁠נְתִיבֹתָֽי⁠ו

and=not stay in/on/at/with,paths,its

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this as a positive expression. Alternate translation: “and they leave its paths”
