8. Formal Translation And the LORD {Yahweh, Sovereign Examiner} said to the Adversary, “Have you set your heart upon My servant Job? For there is none like him on the earth: a blameless and upright man, fearing God {elohim, Supreme Authority} and turning away from evil.” |
8. Dynamic Translation Then the LORD {Yahweh, Searching Judge} said to the Adversary, “Have you paid attention to My servant Job? No one on earth compares with him. He is blameless and upright; he honors God {elohim, Exalted Ruler} and keeps away from evil.” |
