JOB 29:20 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.

כְּ֭בוֹדִ⁠י חָדָ֣שׁ עִמָּדִ֑⁠י וְ֝⁠קַשְׁתִּ֗⁠י בְּ⁠יָדִ֥⁠י תַחֲלִֽיף

glory,my fresh with=me and,bow,my in/on/at/with,hand,my new

If you have been translating this quotation in such a way that there is not a quotation within a quotation, you can continue doing that here. Alternate translation: “I said that my glory was fresh in me and that my bow sprouted in my hand”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כְּ֭בוֹדִ⁠י חָדָ֣שׁ עִמָּדִ֑⁠י

glory,my fresh with=me

Job means implicitly that the glory or honor that he enjoys is always fresh because people keep honoring him in new ways. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “People keep honoring me in new ways”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ֝⁠קַשְׁתִּ֗⁠י בְּ⁠יָדִ֥⁠י תַחֲלִֽיף

and,bow,my in/on/at/with,hand,my new

Job is speaking as if he had a bow, a weapon that he used with arrows, and that it grew freshly in his hand the way that a branch sprouts from a tree trunk. (Job uses the same verb for “sprout” in 14:7–9 to describe a tree reviving and sending out shoots when moisture returns to the ground.) He means that the bow, which represents his strength, is lively and vigorous. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and I stay vigorously strong”
