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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
יָמַ֣י קַ֭לּוּ מִנִּי־אָ֑רֶג
days,my swifter than weaver's_shuttle
Job his comparing his days to a shuttle, which stores and releases a supply of yearn for weavers, to say how quickly his days are going by. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. The UST models one way to do this.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יָמַ֣י קַ֭לּוּ
days,my swifter
Job is using the term days to refer to a specific time, the time that he will live on earth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “My life is ending more quickly”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
אָ֑רֶג
weaver's_shuttle
A shuttle is a wooden tool that weavers use when weaving to store and unravel yarn while passing it back and forth through other threads of yarn mounted on a loom. If your readers would not be familiar with what a shuttle is, in your translation you could use the name of a comparable object in your culture, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “a tool for weaving” or “a tool for making cloth quickly”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
וַ֝יִּכְל֗וּ בְּאֶ֣פֶס תִּקְוָֽה
and,come_to_an_end in/on/at/with,no hope
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of hope, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “and I cannot hope that my life will be good in the end”
