JOB 34:35 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.

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation, with no comma at the end of verse 34: “that Job does not speak with knowledge and that his words are without understanding”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְ⁠דַ֣עַת

in/on/at/with,knowledge

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of knowledge, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “knowledgeably”
