JOB 36:2 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 / yousingular

כַּתַּר & וַ⁠אֲחַוֶּ֑⁠ךָּ

bear & and,show,you

As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, the word you and the implied “you” in the imperative Be patient are singular here because in this chapter, Elihu is addressing Job directly. So if your language marks a distinction between singular and plural “you,” use the singular form in your translation here and throughout the chapter.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וַ⁠אֲחַוֶּ֑⁠ךָּ

and,show,you

Elihu is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and I will show you that God has not been punishing you unfairly”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ע֖וֹד לֶ⁠אֱל֣וֹהַּ מִלִּֽים

again/more on_~_behalf,God's said

Elihu is using the term words to mean what he wants to say further by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “there are more things to say on behalf of God”
