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.

2 at post _of_my I _will _stand and_I _will _take _my _stand on the_fortification and_I _will _watch to_see what will _he _speak by_me and_what will _I _bring _back on complaint _of_my.

2 And_he_answered _me YHWH and_he/it _said write _down the_vision and_make_it_clear on the_tablets so _that he _may _run one _who_reads in_him/it.

3 If/because still the_vision is_for_time and_it _will _pant to_end and_not it _will _lie if it _will _delay wait to_him/it if/because surely _(come) it _will _come not it _will _delay.

4 THERE it _is _swollen not it _is _upright self _of_his in/on/over_him/it and_the_righteous by_faithfulness _of_his he _will _live.

5 And_also if/because (the)_wine is_acting _treacherously a _man proud and_not he _stays _at _home who he _has _made _large like_Shəʼōl throat _of_his and_he is_like_death and_not he _is _satisfied and_he _has _gathered to_him/it all _of the_nations and_he _has _assembled to_him/it all _of the_peoples.

6 Am_not these_nations of _them _of_all on/upon/above_him/it a _saying will _they _lift _up and_a _mocking _song riddles to_him/it and_will _someone _say woe _to the_one_who_increases that _which_not to_him/it until when and_one _who_makes _heavy on/upon/above_him/it pledge[s].

7 Am_not suddenness will _they _arise those _of_who_pay _interest _to _you and_will _they _awake those _of_who _will_make _you _tremble and_you _will _become (into)_plunder(s) for_them.

8 If/because[fn] you you _have _plundered nations many they_will _plunder _you all _of the_rest _of the_peoples from_the_blood(s)_of humankind and_the_violence _of the_land the_town and_all those _who_dwell _of in_it.

9 woe _to one _who_gains unjust _gain evil for_house _of_his to_set on_places nest _of_his to_deliver _himself from_the_palm _of evil.

10 You _have _planned shame for_house _of_your by _cutting _off peoples many and_you _have_sinned self _of_your.

11 If/because a _stone from_the_wall it _will _cry _out and_a _rafter from_tree it_will _answer _it.

12 woe _to one _who_builds a _city by_blood(s) and_he _establishes a _town by_injustice.

13 Am_not THERE from_with YHWH soldiers/messengers and_they _labour peoples for_the_sufficiency _of fire and_nations for_the_sufficiency _of emptiness they _grow _weary.

14 If/because it _will _be _filled the_earth/land to_know DOM the _glory _of YHWH like_waters which_they _cover over the_sea.

15 woe _to one _who_makes _drink _of his/its_neighbour one _who_mixes rage _of_your and_even you _make_them_drunk so _as to _look on nakedness(es)_of_their.

16 You _are _satisfied shame more_than _honour drink also you and_be _counted _as _uncircumcised it _will _come _round to_you the _cup _of the _right _hand _of YHWH and_disgrace will _be_over honour _of_your.

17 If/because the _violence _of Ləⱱānōn it_will _cover _you and_the_devastation _of animals it_will _terrify _them from_the_blood(s)_of humankind and_the_violence _of the_land the_town and_all those _who_dwell _of in_it.

18 what a _carved _image does _it _profit if/because he_has _carved _it the _of_one _who_formed _it a _molten _image and_that _which_teaches falsehood if/because he _relies form _of_its the _one _who_formed on/upon/above_him/it for_ idols _doing dumb.

19 woe _to one _who_says to_wood wake_up awake to_a _stone _of silence it will _it _teach THERE it is_sheathed gold and_silver and_all breath there_is_not within_it.

20 And_YHWH in_(the)_palace his _holiness _of_his hush from_before _of_him all _of the_earth/land.

2:8 OSHB note: We agree with both BHS 1997 and BHQ on an unexpected reading.
