JOB 35:2 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

הֲ֭⁠זֹאת חָשַׁ֣בְתָּ לְ⁠מִשְׁפָּ֑ט

?,this think according_to,just

Elihu is using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for that purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You should not consider this to be justice!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

הֲ֭⁠זֹאת חָשַׁ֣בְתָּ לְ⁠מִשְׁפָּ֑ט

?,this think according_to,just

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the word you is singular here and throughout the chapter because Elihu is addressing Job directly. So use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

הֲ֭⁠זֹאת חָשַׁ֣בְתָּ לְ⁠מִשְׁפָּ֑ט

?,this think according_to,just

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of justice, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “You should not consider this a just thing to say!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

אָ֝מַ֗רְתָּ צִדְקִ֥⁠י מֵ⁠אֵֽל

say right,I before,God

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “You say that you are more righteous than God” or, since this is not a direct quote from Job, “You speak as if you are more righteous than God”
