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.

ClVg et qui cœpit, ipse me conterat; solvat manum suam, et succidat me?[fn]
(and who cœpit, exactly_that/himself me conterat; solvat hand his_own, and succidat me? )
6.9 Qui cœpit, ipse me conterat. GREG. in Job lib. 7. Conterit adversarius, et defecit a te homo. Conterit Deus, et fractus a vitiis in virtute solidatur. Qui ergo per flagella Deo appropriare desiderat, dicit: Qui cœpit, ipse conterat, quia aliquando incipit Deus contritionem vitiorum, et in ipso provectus initio homo extollitur, et sic hostis exclusus, gravior assumptis aliis spiritibus surripit, et virtutes conterit. Solvat manum, id est, exerceat effectum; dum enim inflatus longa prosperitate amorem suum per flagella non exercet, quasi manum ad ferienda vitia ligatam tenet, unde peccanti populo dicit: Jam non irascar tibi, et zelus meus recessit a te. Succidat me. Cum enim dolor vel tentatio non percutit, elatio mentis succisa cadit, ut jam quærat manum levantis.
6.9 Who cœpit, exactly_that/himself me conterat. GREG. in Yob lib. 7. Conterit adversarius, and defecit from you(sg) homo. Conterit God, and fractus from vitiis in virtute solidatur. Who therefore through flagella Deo appropriare desiderat, he_says: Who cœpit, exactly_that/himself conterat, because aliquando incipit God contritionem vitiorum, and in ipso provectus initio human extollitur, and so hostis exclusus, gravior assumptis aliis spiritibus surripit, and virtutes conterit. Solvat manum, id it_is, exerceat effectum; dum because inflatus longa prosperitate amorem his_own through flagella not/no exercet, as_if hand to ferienda vitia ligatam holds, whence peccanti to_the_people he_says: Yam not/no irascar tibi, and zelus mine recessit from you(sg). Succidat me. Since because pain or tentatio not/no percutit, elatio mentis succisa cadit, as yam quærat hand levantis.
6:9 At one time, both Moses and Elijah wished that God would kill them (Num 11:15; 1 Kgs 19:4).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
וְיֹאֵ֣ל אֱ֭לוֹהַּ וִֽידַכְּאֵ֑נִי
and,willing god and,crush,me
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two verbs connected with and. The verb be willing tells in what way Job hopes God will crush him. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: “and may God willingly crush me” or “and may God agree to crush me”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
יַתֵּ֥ר יָ֝ד֗וֹ
let_untie/release his/its=hand
Here, hand represents the capability of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “may he use his power”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וִֽיבַצְּעֵֽנִי
and,cut_~_off,me
Job is speaking as if he were a branch that God might cut … off from a tree in order to kill it. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and kill me”
