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: writing-pronouns

כִּי־הִ֥יא & זִמָּ֑ה

that/for/because/then/when (Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when that shameful and,it iniquity offense )

The pronoun that refers to what Job described in verse 9, not to what he described in verse 10. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “For if I had sexual relations with another man’s wife, that would be lewdness”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

וְ֝ה֗וּא & עָוֺ֥ן פְּלִילִֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when that shameful and,it iniquity offense )

Job is using this possessive form to describe iniquity that judges would punish, not iniquity that judges would commit. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “and judges would certainly punish such iniquity”
