JOB 35:7 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 / rquestion

אִם־צָ֭דַקְתָּ מַה־תִּתֶּן־ל֑⁠וֹ א֥וֹ מַה־מִ⁠יָּדְ⁠ךָ֥ יִקָּֽח

if righteous what? give to=him/it or what? from,hand,your receive

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 these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: “If you are righteous, you do not give anything to God; he does not receive anything from your hand!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

מִ⁠יָּדְ⁠ךָ֥

from,hand,your

Elihu is using one part of Job, his hand, to mean all of him in the act of potentially giving something to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from you”
