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 / metaphor

אַנְשֵׁ֣י לֵ֭בָב

men_of understanding

See how you translated the same expression in verse 10. Alternate translation: “Men of understanding”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠גֶ֥בֶר חָ֝כָ֗ם

and,man wise

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wisdom, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and any wise person”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

שֹׁמֵ֥עַֽ לִֽ⁠י

hear to=me

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: “hearing me will also say to me”
