Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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 / nominaladj

גֵּ֭אֶה

proud

See how you translated the same expression in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “proud person”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠הֲדֹ֖ךְ

and,tread_down

Yahweh is speaking as if he wants Job literally to trample or walk all over wicked people if he wishes to judge the world as Yahweh would do. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and punish”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

רְשָׁעִ֣ים

wicked

Yahweh is using the adjective wicked as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “wicked people”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

תַּחְתָּֽ⁠ם

where_~_stand,they

As Elihu did similarly in 36:16, here Yahweh is using the expression under them to mean at the location on which these wicked people stand. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “right where they are”
