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 / metonymy

words,my

Elihu is using the term words to mean what he is about to say by using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “what I say”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

תְּמִ֖ים דֵּע֣וֹת עִמָּֽ⁠ךְ

perfect knowledge with,you

Elihu is using the adjective phrase complete in knowledge as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjective phrases in the same way. If not, you can translate this with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “someone who has complete knowledge is with you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

תְּמִ֖ים דֵּע֣וֹת עִמָּֽ⁠ךְ

perfect knowledge with,you

Elihu says complete here as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: ““someone who has very comprehensive knowledge is with you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

תְּמִ֖ים דֵּע֣וֹת עִמָּֽ⁠ךְ
