JOB 34:27 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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

סָ֣רוּ מֵֽ⁠אַחֲרָ֑י⁠ו

turned_aside from,following,him

Elihu is speaking as if these wicked mighty people were literally walking behind God but then turned away to walk in a different direction from his. He means that they stopped obeying God’s commandments. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they stopped obeying God’s commandments”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠כָל־דְּ֝רָכָ֗י⁠ו לֹ֣א הִשְׂכִּֽילוּ

and=all ways,his not had_~_regard

Elihu is speaking of how God wants people to live as if that were a series of ways or paths along which God wants people to walk. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and they did not respect the manner in which God wants people to live”
