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.

donkey orphans drive_away take_~_apledge ox widow's

Job is not referring to a specific donkey, fatherless person, ox, or widow. He means those animals and people in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: “Wicked people lead away donkeys that belong to fatherless people; they take in pledge oxen that belong to widows”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

יְתוֹמִ֣ים

orphans

Job is using the adjective fatherless as a noun to mean a certain group of people. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “children whose fathers have died” or “orphans”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

See the note to 22:6 about the cultural practice of taking possessions in pledge. See how you translated the similar expression there.
