# Why are we
2017-06-21 20:47:54 +00:00
The word "we" probably refers to Bildad and Job's other friends.
2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00
# why have we become stupid in your sight
2017-06-21 20:47:54 +00:00
2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00
Bildad uses this rhetorical question that he should not consider them to be stupid. AT: "We are not stupid like you think we are." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# in your sight
2017-06-21 20:47:54 +00:00
2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00
Here sight represents judgment or evaluation. AT: "in your judgment" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# You who tear at yourself in your anger
2017-06-21 20:47:54 +00:00
2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00
Here Bildad is stating that it is because of Job's anger and disobedience that he has been injured, not because of God's anger as Job has previously claimed. The word "tear" here means to "injure." AT: "You who have caused your own injuries because of your anger" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# should the earth be forsaken for you or should the rocks be removed out of their places?
2017-06-21 20:47:54 +00:00
2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00
This rhetorical question suggests that letting Job, whom they consider a guilty man, go free would be like changing the whole world. Bildad uses these huge exaggerations here to emphasize how outrageous he thinks this is. This can be written as a statement. AT: "Asking God to let you, a guilty man, go free is as silly as asking for God to forsake the earth for your sake or for God to move the rocks out of their places to please you!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]])

# should the earth be forsaken
2017-06-21 20:47:54 +00:00
2017-06-21 20:50:04 +00:00
This can be stated in active form. AT: "should everyone leave the earth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
2017-06-21 20:47:54 +00:00

# should the rocks be removed out of their places
2017-06-21 20:47:54 +00:00
2017-06-24 00:15:21 +00:00
This can be stated in active form. The word "rocks" here refers to large rocks, such as those in the mountains. AT: "should God remove the rocks from their places" or "should God move mountains around" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
