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 / personification

לַ֗יְלָה עֲ֭צָמַ⁠י נִקַּ֣ר

night bones,my pierces

Job is speaking of Night as if it were a living thing that could pierce his bones. He is doing this to describe the pain that he feels more keenly at night. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “At night, pain pierces my bones”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לַ֗יְלָה עֲ֭צָמַ⁠י נִקַּ֣ר

night bones,my pierces

Job is using one part of himself, his bones, to mean all of him in the act of feeling pain. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “At night, pain pierces my body”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לַ֗יְלָה עֲ֭צָמַ⁠י נִקַּ֣ר

night bones,my pierces

Job is speaking as if pain were literally piercing his body or putting holes in it. He means that he gets a stabbing sensation of pain as if he were actually being stabbed. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “At night, I have stabbing sensations of pain”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מֵ⁠עָלָ֑⁠י

from,upon,I

It is not entirely clear what Job means by this expression. He uses the same expression in 30:30 to describe how his skin, darkened by disease, is peeling off. So this could be a reference to the pain from his sores radiating deep into his body. Alternate translation: “from the sores on my skin”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ֝⁠עֹרְקַ֗⁠י לֹ֣א יִשְׁכָּבֽוּ⁠ן

and,gnawing_pains,my not rest,

Job is speaking of the pains he is suffering as if they were living things that could be gnawing him and could rest (although they do not). If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the pain is like someone chewing on me, and it never stops”
