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 / synecdoche

אֲשֶׁר־בְּגָדֶ֥י⁠ךָ חַמִּ֑ים

which/who garments,you hot

Elihu is using one part of Job, his clothes, to mean all of him in the act of being hot. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “You who sweat in your garments”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠הַשְׁקִ֥ט אֶ֝֗רֶץ מִ⁠דָּרֽוֹם

in/on/at/with,still earth/land because_of,south_wind

Elihu assumes that Job will understand that by south he is referring to the desert. The book of Job is set in a location where there was a desert to the south. You could indicate that explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “when the air comes from the desert and the land is still”
