ʼIyyōⱱ/(Job)

Note: This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Note: This Literal Version is a somewhat technical translation designed to give the English reader a window into what's actually written in the original languages. (See the introduction for more details—we recommend that you read the introduction first if you're wanting to read and understand this Literal Version.) For nice, modern, readable English you should look at the (forthcoming) Readers' Version. (Between the two versions, you should also be able to get an idea about how Bible Translation actually works. You can also compare your other favourite Bible translations with this Literal Version to get more insight into how they also interpreted the original texts in crafting their translation.)

It is our prayer that this Literal Version of the Open English Translation of the Bible will give you fresh insight into the words of the inspired Biblical writers.
