JOB 36:12 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 / euphemism

בְּ⁠שֶׁ֣לַח יַעֲבֹ֑רוּ

in/on/at/with,sword perish

See how you translated the similar expression in 33:18. Alternate translation: “someone will kill them with a weapon”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

וְ֝⁠יִגְוְע֗וּ

and,die

Elihu is using the word expire to mean “die.” This is a mild way of referring to death. Your language may have a similar expression that you can use in your translation. You could also use plain language. Alternate translation: “and they will pass away” or “and they will die”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כִּ⁠בְלִי־דָֽעַת

as,without 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: “because they acted as if they did not know how God wanted them to live”
