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 / metaphor

יָרֹ֣עַ כַּבִּירִ֣ים

shatters mighty

Elihu is speaking as if God literally shatters mighty people or breaks them into pieces. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He punishes mighty people by taking away their power and influence”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

כַּבִּירִ֣ים

mighty

Elihu is using the adjective mighty as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “mighty people”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לֹא־חֵ֑קֶר

not investigation

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of investigation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “without needing to investigate how they have been living”
