JOB 27:9 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 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 / rquestion

הַֽ֭⁠צַעֲקָת⁠וֹ יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ אֵ֑ל כִּֽי־תָב֖וֹא עָלָ֣י⁠ו צָרָֽה

the,cry,his hear god that/for/because/then/when comes on/upon/above=him/it distress

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: “God will not hear his cry when trouble comes upon him!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הַֽ֭⁠צַעֲקָת⁠וֹ יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ אֵ֑ל

the,cry,his hear god

Job is using the term hear in a specific sense to mean “answer.” Alternate translation: “Will God answer his cry for help”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

כִּֽי־תָב֖וֹא עָלָ֣י⁠ו צָרָֽה

that/for/because/then/when comes on/upon/above=him/it distress

Job is speaking of trouble as if it were a living thing that could come upon a wicked person (for example, as an animal might pounce on its prey). If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “when he experiences trouble” or “when he gets into trouble”
