1.2 KiB
Bildad continues speaking to Job.
Why are we regarded as beasts
AT: "You should not think that we are like animals." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
Why are we
The word "we" probably refers to Bildad and Job's other friends.
why have we become stupid in your sight
AT: "We are not stupid like you think we are."
stupid
Possible meanings are 1) dumb or 2) unclean.
You who tear at yourself in your anger
See how you translated a similar phrase in Job 16:9. Here, Bildad says that it is not God who tore Job in his wrath, but rather it is Job who tore himself in his own wrath.
should the earth be forsaken for you
This phrase suggests that letting a guilty man go free would be like changing the laws of nature. AT: "Asking God to let a guilty man go free is as silly as asking him to change the entire order of the world." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
should the earth be forsaken
AT: "should everyone leave the earth?" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)
should the rocks be removed out of their places
AT: "should God move mountains around?"
