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.

WMBB (Same as above)
MSG (8-16)“If I were in your shoes, I’d go straight to God,
I’d throw myself on the mercy of God.
After all, he’s famous for great and unexpected acts;
there’s no end to his surprises.
He gives rain, for instance, across the wide earth,
sends water to irrigate the fields.
He raises up the down-and-out,
gives firm footing to those sinking in grief.
He aborts the schemes of conniving crooks,
so that none of their plots come to term.
He catches the know-it-alls in their conspiracies—
all that intricate intrigue swept out with the trash!
Suddenly they’re disoriented, plunged into darkness;
they can’t see to put one foot in front of the other.
But the downtrodden are saved by God,
saved from the murderous plots, saved from the iron fist.
And so the poor continue to hope,
while injustice is bound and gagged.

ClVg Per diem incurrent tenebras, et quasi in nocte, sic palpabunt in meridie.[fn]
(Per day incurrent darkness, and as_if in/into/on at_night, so palpabunt in/into/on meridie. )
5.14 Per diem incurrent. Quia in ipsa veritatis præsentia, perfidiæ errore cæcati sunt, videntes miracula Christi et de ejus deitate dubitantes. Quasi in nocte. Palpando quærimus quæ oculis non videmus: Judæi miracula viderant, et adhuc quasi palpantes quærebant: Si tu es Christus, dic nobis palam Joan. 10.. Sed horum manibus diu retineri non potuit Christus. Per diem incurrent tenebras. Ibid. Mens invidi cum de bono alieno affligitur, de radio solis obscuratur. Et quasi in nocte sic palpabunt in meridie. Dies boni operis in proximo exterius lucet: quasi in nocte palpant, quia, livore cæci, aliqua quæ reprehendant, invenire satagunt. Ecce Loth, id est, justus malis adversantibus intra domum recluditur et munitur, id est ad mentem revertitur et manet interius, Sodomitæ cæci circumeunt, id est, invidentes facta dictaque scrutantur, nec ostium, id est, aditum reprehensionis, inveniunt, sed parietem palpant, quia ubique laudabilis actio justi eis obviat. Palpabunt. Sed pauper spiritu, id est, qui apud se non est elatus: salvatur a gladio oris, id est, iniqua persuasione.

Palpando quærimus which eyes not/no seemus: Yudæi miracula seerant, and still as_if palpantes they_were_looking_for: When/But_if you(sg) you_are Christ, say us openly Yoan. 10.. But of_these hands diu retineri not/no potuit Christ. Per day incurrent darkness. Ibid. Mens invidi when/with from/about good alieno affligitur, from/about radio of_the_sun obscuratur. And as_if in/into/on at_night so palpabunt in/into/on meridie. The_day boni operis in/into/on the_next outside shines: as_if in/into/on at_night palpant, because, livore blind, aliqua which reprehendant, I_foundre satagunt. Behold Loth, id it_is, just bad_things adversentibus intra home recluditur and munitur, id it_is to mindm he_returns and remains inside, Sodomitæ blind circumeunt, id it_is, invidentes facts said/dictatedque scrutantur, but_not door, id it_is, aditum reprehensionis, I_foundunt, but wall palpant, because ubique praiseworthy action just to_them obviat. Palpabunt. But poor in_spirit, id it_is, who at himself not/no it_is elatus: savetur from with_a_sword oris, id it_is, iniqua persuasione.

5:9-16 Eliphaz’s doxology praised God as the wonder-working Creator and Sustainer of the universe (5:9-10) and as the righteous Judge who brings down the powerful and lifts up the poor (5:11-16).

in_the_daytime meet darkness and,as_the,night grope in/on/at/with,noon
Eliphaz is speaking as if the cunning and deceptive people he described in the previous verse are literally in the dark during the day and cannot find their way. He means that God keeps them from realizing how to make their wicked plans succeed. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [God keeps these cunning and deceptive people from realizing how to make their wicked plans succeed]
