JOB 32:21 Parallel Verse View

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 / gendernotations

אִ֑ישׁ & אָ֝דָ֗ם

(a)_man & humankind

In both instances, the masculine term man has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: “anyone … anyone”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אַל & אֶשָּׂ֣א פְנֵי־אִ֑ישׁ

not & I_will_show_partiality faces_of (a)_man

See how you translated the similar expression in 13:8. Alternate translation: “let me not show favoritism to anyone”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠אֶל־אָ֝דָ֗ם לֹ֣א אֲכַנֶּֽה

and=near/to humankind not flatter

Elihu may be using one thing that he might do to flatter someone, address him by an honorary title, to mean all the ways in which he might flatter someone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and let me not flatter anyone”
