JOB 41:13 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily 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. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted 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 / rquestion

מִֽי־גִ֭לָּה פְּנֵ֣י לְבוּשׁ֑⁠וֹ בְּ⁠כֶ֥פֶל רִ֝סְנ֗⁠וֹ מִ֣י יָבֽוֹא

who? (Some words not found in UHB: who? strip_off face/surface_of its_clothing_of,his in,the_doubling_of its_halter_of,his who? penetrate )

Yahweh is using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: [No one has removed the face of its clothing! No one has entered into the double of its bridle!]
