This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

9 Of _it _of_all for_violence it _comes the _totality _of their _faces _of_their eastward_is and_it _gathered like_sand captive[s].

10 And_he (in)_kings it _derides and_rulers are_laughter to_him/it it to/from_all/each/any/every fortress it _laughs and_it _heaped _up earth and_it_captured _it.
