This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
42 Then Iyyov answered Yahweh:
Iyyov
2 I know that you can do everything,
≈ and no one can stop you from doing what you want.
‘Who’s this concealing counsel without knowledge?’
That’s why I spouted out things I didn’t understand—
things that are too wonderful for me—that I didn’t know.
4 Listen now, and I’ll speak.[ref]
I’ll tell you my question and you can inform me.
but now I can see you with my eyes.
6 Therefore I despise myself for what I said,
and I show my repentance by sitting in dust and ashes.
Yob 38:2:
Yahweh
2 Who is this giving bad advice,
with words that are lacking knowledge?
Yob 38:3:
3 Get ready to battle[fn] like a man,
and I’ll question you and you can answer me.
38:3 Lit. ‘Gird your loins’. In a robe-wearing culture, it was normal for a man to tuck the bottom of his robe up into his belt to clear his legs to be able to move more freely—perhaps to run, but also to fight.
