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.

Dicat hoc beatus Job de malignis spiritibus; dicat Ecclesia de persequentibus, qui ejus itinera dissipant, dum in quorumdam infirmorum mentibus veritatis viam squalida persuasione perturbant. Insidiati sunt mihi et prævaluerunt. Insidiantes prævalent, cum eos quos aperte ad malum trahere nequeunt, simulando bona pervertunt. Et non fuit qui ferret auxilium. Plerumque justi tribulatione deprehensi tardari manum subvenientis æstimant, cum se persequentium immanitas paulo longius angustiat; et concita quidem sunt ereptoris remedia, sed tarda dolori videntur.

נָתְס֗וּ נְֽתִיבָ֫תִ֥⁠י

break_up path_of,my

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠הַוָּתִ֥⁠י יֹעִ֑ילוּ

to,destruction_of,my promote

Job is speaking as if calamity were literally an object that these young men could move forward, farther along its route to a destination. He means that in addition to all the bad things that have happened to him, they do further bad things to him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they add to my sufferings]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לֹ֖א עֹזֵ֣ר לָֽ⁠מוֹ

not help they,them

This could mean: (1) that they do despicable things to Job that no decent person would join them in doing.

Alternate translation: [they are contemptible people]
