JOB 34:23 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 / ellipsis

לֹ֣א עַל־אִ֭ישׁ יָשִׂ֣ים

not on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (a)_man appointed

As Job does in 23:6, here Elihu is leaving out some of the words of a certain Hebrew expression that occurs in full form in other places in the book. See how you translated the expression “set upon” in 23:6. Alternate translation: “God does not set his heart upon a person” or “God does not consider a person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לַ⁠הֲלֹ֥ךְ אֶל־אֵ֝֗ל בַּ⁠מִּשְׁפָּֽט

to,go to/towards god in/on/at/with,judgment

Elihu is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “so there is no need for any person to go to him for judgment”
