BI Job 42:3 ©

OET (OET-RV)You asked,

 ⇔ That’s why I spouted out things I didn’t understand
 ⇔ things that are too wonderful for me—that I didn’t know.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

42:1-6 Job understood the message of God’s speeches: I know that you can do anything. Nothing is too hard for God (Gen 18:14; Jer 32:17; Matt 19:26) and nothing can stop his plan (Job 23:13; Isa 14:27; 46:10). Job realized how unlike God he was.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

מִ֤י זֶ֨ה ׀ מַעְלִ֥ים עֵצָ֗ה בְּֽלִ֫י דָ֥עַת

who? this hides counsel without knowledge

In the first sentence in this verse, Job is quoting what Yahweh said in 38:2, at the beginning of his speech. The ULT indicates this by putting the sentence in second-level quotation marks. If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “You asked who this was who was concealing counsel without knowledge.”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

לָ⁠כֵ֣ן

for=so/thus/hence

Job is using the word Therefore to introduce a conclusion that he has reached on the basis of what Yahweh said in his entire speech. Job is not using the word to introduce the reason why he has spoken without understanding. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “Based on everything you have said, I now recognize that”
