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 / activepassive

יִבָּחֵ֣ן אִיּ֣וֹב

tested ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job)

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “God would test Job” or “God would put Job on trial”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

עַל־תְּ֝שֻׁבֹ֗ת בְּ⁠אַנְשֵׁי־אָֽוֶן

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in answers in/on/at/with,men wicked

Elihu is using the word among in a sense that suggests that one thing is associated with another. He means that Job responds in a way associated with men of iniquity, as if Job were such a person himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “because he answers as men of iniquity would”
