# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Job continues speaking to his friends.
|
|
|
|
# You say
|
|
|
|
These words are added by most versions in order to make it clear that the Job is quoting his friends in the next statement.
|
|
|
|
# God lays up one's guilt for his children to pay
|
|
|
|
Guilt is spoken of as something that can be stored for later use. Here "to pay" refers to punishment for sin. AT: "God keeps a record of a person's sins, then he punishes the person's children for his wicked deeds" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# Let him pay it himself ... cut off?
|
|
|
|
Job now begins to state his own opinion. It may be helpful to state this explicitly. AT: "But I say, 'Let him pay it himself ... cut off?'" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# Let his eyes see
|
|
|
|
Here "eyes" refers to the person. AT: "Let him see" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
|
|
|
|
# let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty
|
|
|
|
Here the wrath of God is spoken of as if it were a drink that a person can taste, and tasting is a metonym for experiencing the drink. Job wants the wicked person to experience God's punishment. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
|
|
|
|
# For what does he care about his family after him when the number of his months is cut off?
|
|
|
|
Job uses this question to show that punishing the evil man's children is not effective. This can be stated in active form. AT: "For the wicked man does not care what happens to his family after he has died!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# the number of his months is cut off
|
|
|
|
This is a polite way of saying that he dies. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-euphemism]])
|
|
|
|
# the number of his months
|
|
|
|
This refers to the length of his life.
