JOB 41:14 Parallel Verse View

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 as a tool 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 / rquestion

דַּלְתֵ֣י פָ֭נָי⁠ו מִ֣י פִתֵּ֑חַ

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,neck_of,his abides strength and,before,face/front,him dances dismay )

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 this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [No one has opened the doors of its face!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

דַּלְתֵ֣י פָ֭נָי⁠ו

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,neck_of,his abides strength and,before,face/front,him dances dismay )

Yahweh is speaking as if the jaws of Leviathan were literally doors in its face. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Its jaws]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

סְבִיב֖וֹת שִׁנָּ֣י⁠ו אֵימָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,neck_of,his abides strength and,before,face/front,him dances dismay )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of terror, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Its teeth are terrifying]
