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.

lift_~_up,me to/towards wind ride,me and,toss_~_about,me (Some words not found in UHB: lift_~_up,me to/towards wind ride,me and,toss_~_about,me storm )

Job is speaking as if God uses the wind to lift him off the ground and as if the wind carries him away as if he were riding on it the way a person would ride a horse. He is also speaking as if God uses a storm to toss him about. He means that God is causing him such great distress that he feels as if these things are happening to him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “You are causing me such great distress that it feels as if a storm wind is picking me up, carrying me away, and tossing me about”
