TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:10 shut my mother’s womb: Closing or opening the womb sometimes refers to conception (Gen 16:2; 20:18; 29:31; 30:22; 1 Sam 1:5-6), but here it refers to birth (see also Job 38:8).

TTNTyndale Theme Notes:

Complaints

The Bible generally depicts complaining as wrong. For example, God judged the Israelites for grumbling about their hardships in the wilderness (Num 14:27-37). Job complained mightily and earned God’s rebuke for it, yet God ultimately confirmed Job’s righteousness and rejected those who tried to stop him from complaining (Job 42:7-8).

Job’s fundamental complaint was that God did not give him a fair hearing to demonstrate his innocence. Job’s friends attacked him for trying to vindicate himself, but God upheld Job’s innocence. In a gracious but firm act of self-revelation, God rebuked Job for his overreaching self-defense and implied criticism of God’s fairness. God shifted Job’s focus away from his troubles and toward God himself (Job 38–41).

Scripture admonishes us to rejoice and give thanks in all situations (Eph 5:20; Phil 4:4; 1 Thes 5:16-18). It also calls us to endure through suffering and to persist in prayer (Jas 5:10-18). If we do want to complain in prayer, we should follow the pattern of the psalms, which lead us past ourselves and back to God (see, e.g., Ps 13). Job’s positive example (Jas 5:11) is not so much in how he responded to his troubles or to his comforters but in how he responded to God (Job 40:3-5; 42:1-6). In the midst of difficult and confusing situations that may precipitate a desire to complain, we can still acknowledge the sovereignty and goodness of God.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

לֹ֣א סָ֭גַר דַּלְתֵ֣י בִטְנִ֑⁠י

not he/it_closed doors womb,my

Job is using the possessive form my womb to mean the womb from which he was born, that is, his mother’s womb. He is not saying that he himself had a womb. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “it did not close the doors of my mother’s womb”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לֹ֣א סָ֭גַר דַּלְתֵ֣י בִטְנִ֑⁠י

not he/it_closed doors womb,my

Job is speaking as his mother’s womb literally had doors that could have closed to keep him from being born. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “it did not keep me from being born”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

לֹ֣א סָ֭גַר דַּלְתֵ֣י בִטְנִ֑⁠י וַ⁠יַּסְתֵּ֥ר

not he/it_closed doors womb,my and,hide

Job is speaking as if the day of his birth were a living thing that could have kept him from being born. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “nothing kept me from being born on that day and hid”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וַ⁠יַּסְתֵּ֥ר עָ֝מָ֗ל מֵ⁠עֵינָֽ⁠י

and,hide trouble from,eyes,my

Job is also speaking as if the day of his birth were a living thing that could have hidden trouble from his eyes. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and nothing hid trouble from my eyes”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יַּסְתֵּ֥ר עָ֝מָ֗ל מֵ⁠עֵינָֽ⁠י

and,hide trouble from,eyes,my

Job is referring to his ability to see by association with the eyes by which he sees. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and hide trouble from my sight” or “and keep me from seeing trouble”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יַּסְתֵּ֥ר עָ֝מָ֗ל מֵ⁠עֵינָֽ⁠י

and,hide trouble from,eyes,my

In this context, to see trouble means to experience it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and keep me from experiencing trouble”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַ⁠יַּסְתֵּ֥ר עָ֝מָ֗ל מֵ⁠עֵינָֽ⁠י

and,hide trouble from,eyes,my

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of trouble, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and keep me from suffering so badly”
