JOB 7:8 Parallel Verse View

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.

7.8 Nec aspiciet me visus hominis. Id est misericordia Redemptoris, quæ peccantium duritiam emollit, ut cum Petrum respexit Luc. 22.; sed post mortem non liberat, quem ante gratia non reformat. Non visus hominis, sed, Oculi tui in. GERG. Id est, districtum judicem ad feriendum videbis, et qui hic exspectatus ad pœnitentiam substiti, jam non subsistat. Hoc justo convenit, qui timet omne quod agit, et remota pietate se periturum præscit, et non subsistit ante oculos, quia pœnæ vita non sufficit, si justitia eum premit. Nec enim astra, id est qui sanctitate lucent, coram eo munda sunt. Culpa autem et pœna humani generis breviter subditur.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹֽא־תְ֭שׁוּרֵ⁠נִי עֵ֣ין רֹ֑אִי

not see,me eye_of sees

As the second part of the verse indicates, Job is speaking implicitly of what will happen after he dies. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [The eye of the one seeing me now will not regard me then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

עֵ֣ין רֹ֑אִי

eye_of sees

Job is using one part of God, his eye, to mean all of God in the act of seeing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [The one seeing me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

עֵ֣ין רֹ֑אִי

eye_of sees

Even though Job has begun to address God, here is speaking about God in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [You who see me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

עֵינֶ֖י⁠ךָ בִּ֣⁠י

eyes_of,your in/on/at/with,me

This expression means that God will be looking for Job. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [you will be looking for me]
