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 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 / explicit

לְ⁠שֹׁ֣ד וּ⁠לְ⁠כָפָ֣ן תִּשְׂחָ֑ק

at,destruction and,at,famine laugh

The implication is that Job will laugh at destruction and famine because while they might seem threatening, Job will know that God will protect him and so he will not take their threat seriously. You can indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “You will realize gladly that God will protect you from destruction and famine”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לְ⁠שֹׁ֣ד

at,destruction

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of destruction, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “at things that might destroy you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

וּֽ⁠מֵ⁠חַיַּ֥ת & אַל־תִּירָֽא

and,of,beasts & not fear

Eliphaz is not referring to a specific beast. He means any beast. Express this in the way that would be most natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and you will not fear any beast”
