JOB 26:3 Parallel Verse View

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 as a tool 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 / irony

מַה־יָּ֭עַצְתָּ לְ⁠לֹ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה וְ֝⁠תוּשִׁיָּ֗ה לָ⁠רֹ֥ב הוֹדָֽעְתָּ

what? counselled has,no wisdom and,good to=increase_in_number advice

For emphasis, Job is continuing to say the opposite of what he means. If a speaker of your language would not do this, in your translation you could indicate what Job actually means. Alternate translation: [You have not really advised one without wisdom! You have not really made known insight in abundance]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

מַה־יָּ֭עַצְתָּ לְ⁠לֹ֣א חָכְמָ֑ה

what? counselled has,no wisdom

Job is speaking about himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [You have not really advised me, even though I was without wisdom]
