JOB 41:2 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.

MSG ^(1-11)“Or can you pull in the sea beast, Leviathan, with a fly rod
  and stuff him in your creel?
Can you lasso him with a rope,
  or snag him with an anchor?
Will he beg you over and over for mercy,
  or flatter you with flowery speech?

  and have shoppers haggle over the price?
Could you shoot him full of arrows like a pin cushion,
  or drive harpoons into his huge head?
If you so much as lay a hand on him,
  you won’t live to tell the story.
What hope would you have with such a creature?
  Why, one look at him would do you in!
If you can’t hold your own against his glowering visage,
  how, then, do you expect to stand up to me?
Who could confront me and get by with it?
  I’m in charge of all this—I run this universe!

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events

הֲ⁠תָשִׂ֣ים אַגְמ֣וֹן בְּ⁠אַפּ֑⁠וֹ וּ֝⁠בְ⁠ח֗וֹחַ תִּקּ֥וֹב לֶֽחֱי⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: will,you_put? rope in,nose_of,its and,with,a_thorn pierce jaw_of,its )

Since someone would first have to capture Leviathan with a hook before restraining it with a rope in its nose, it may be more natural to put the information about the hook first. Alternate translation: [Will you capture it by hooking its jaw and then put a rope into its nose to restrain it?]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הֲ⁠תָשִׂ֣ים אַגְמ֣וֹן בְּ⁠אַפּ֑⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: will,you_put? rope in,nose_of,its and,with,a_thorn pierce jaw_of,its )

See how you translated the similar expression in [40:24](../40/24.md). Alternate translation: [Will you control its movements by passing a rope through a hole in its nose]
