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 / metaphor
הַלָּ֑יְלָה
the=night
Elihu is probably using the image of night to mean death, similarly to the way Bildad used “darkness” to mean death in 18:18. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “death” or “to die”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לַעֲל֖וֹת עַמִּ֣ים תַּחְתָּֽם
when,cut_off people place,their
By their place, Elihu seems to mean this earth. This may be an implicit warning to Job that once he dies, he will no longer have the opportunity that people on this earth have to repent and be reconciled to God. Alternate translation: “because when people die, they leave this earth and they have no further opportunity to repent”
