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: grammar-connect-words-phrases

כִּי

that/for/because/then/when

Job is using the word For to introduce the reason why he said in the preceding verse that God knew where to find wisdom. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate this in your translation. Alternate translation: “God knows where to find wisdom because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

ה֭וּא לִ⁠קְצוֹת־הָ⁠אָ֣רֶץ יַבִּ֑יט תַּ֖חַת כָּל־הַ⁠שָּׁמַ֣יִם יִרְאֶֽה

he/it to,ends the=earth/land looks below/instead_of all/each/any/every the=heavens sees

Job is using the two main components of creation, earth and the heavens, to mean the entire creation. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “he can see everything in the entire creation”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

ה֭וּא & יַבִּ֑יט

he/it & looks

For emphasis, Job is stating the pronoun he, whose meaning is already present in the verb translated looks. If your language can state implied pronouns explicitly for emphasis, you may want to use that construction here in your translation. Other languages may have other ways of bringing out this emphasis. Alternate translation: “he is the one who looks”
