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 / explicit

בְּ⁠רָב־כֹּ֭חַ

in/on/at/with,great ability

Job is referring implicitly to the great force of his skin disease, its power to do so much damage. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Because of my serious disease,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יִתְחַפֵּ֣שׂ לְבוּשִׁ֑⁠י

seizes clothing,my

Job is probably speaking of his skin as if it were his clothing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my skin is changed” or “my skin is disfigured”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

כְּ⁠פִ֖י כֻתָּנְתִּ֣⁠י יַֽאַזְרֵֽ⁠נִי

by,collar garment,my binds,me

The pronoun it refers to Job’s skin disease. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “my skin disease binds me like the collar of my tunic”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כְּ⁠פִ֖י כֻתָּנְתִּ֣⁠י יַֽאַזְרֵֽ⁠נִי

by,collar garment,my binds,me

Job is speaking as if his disease were literally binding him, or wrapping him up tightly, the way a person in his culture would put on a tunic and then wrap its collar tightly around his neck. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my skin disease afflicts me continually”
