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.

3 woe _to the _one _who _is_rebellious and_the _one _who _is_defiled the_city which_oppresses.

2 Not it _has _listened to_a _voice not it _has _accepted correction in_YHWH not it _has _trusted to god _of_its not it _has _drawn _near.

3 Officials _of_its in_midst _of_its are_lions roaring judges _of_its are_wolves _of the_evening which_not they _gnaw to_morning.

4 Prophets _of_its are_insolent men _of treacheri(es) priests _of_its they _profane the_sanctuary they _treat _violently the_law.

5 YHWH is_righteous in_midst _of_its not he _does injustice in_morning in_morning judgement _of_his he _gives to _the_light not he _is _missing and_not an _unjust _person is_knowing shame.

6 I _have _cut _off nations corners _of_their they _are _desolate I _have _made _desolate streets _of_their from_not _of one _who_passes _by cities _of_their they _have _been _laid _waste from_not _of anyone from_not an _inhabitant.

7 I _said surely you _will _fear me you _will _accept correction and_not dwelling _of_its it _will _be _cut _off all that I _have _visited on/upon_it(f) nevertheless they _rose _early they _corrupted all _of practices _of_their.

8 For_so/thus/hence wait to_me the _utterance _of YHWH for_the _day _of my _rising for_booty if/because judgement _of_my is_to_gather nations I_to_assemble kingdoms to_pour _out on_them indignation _of_my all _of the _burning _of my _anger _of_my if/because in_the _fire _of my _jealousy _of_my all _of it _will _be _consumed the_earth/land.

9 If/because then I _will _restore to peoples a _lip purified to_call of _them _of_all in/on_name _of YHWH to_serve_him a _shoulder one.

10 From_the_other _side of_the _rivers _of of _Cush worshippers _of_my the _daughter _of my _scattered_ones[fn][fn][fn] they_will _bring offering _of_my.

11 In _the_day (the)_that not you _will _be _ashamed from_all practices _of_your which you _have _transgressed against_me if/because then I _will _remove from_midst _of_your the _exultant_ones_of your _pride _of_your and_not you _will _repeat to_be _haughty again on_the _mountain _of my _holiness _of_my.

12 And_I _will _leave in_midst _of_your a _people afflicted and_poor and_they _will _take _refuge in/on_name _of YHWH.

13 The _remnant _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) not they _will _do injustice and_not they _will _speak falsehood and_not it _will _be _found in_mouth _of_their a _tongue _of deceitfulness if/because they they _will _graze and_they _will _lie _down and_there_will_not_be one _who_terrifies.

14 shout _for _joy Oh _daughter _of Tsiyyōn/(Zion) shout Oh _Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) rejoice and_exult in_all the_heart Oh _daughter _of Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem).

15 YHWH He _has _removed judgements _of_your he _has _cleared _away enemy _of_your the _king _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) YHWH is_in_midst _of_your not you _will _fear evil again.

16 In _the_day (the)_that it _will _be _said to_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) do _not be _afraid Oh _Tsiyyōn not let _them _drop hands _of_your.

17 YHWH god _of_your is_in_midst _of_your[fn] a _warrior who_he _will _give _victory he _will _rejoice on_you with_joy he _will _be _silent in_love _of_his he _will _be _glad on_you with_a _shout _of _joy.

18 those _who _are_grieved _of from_an _appointed _feast I _will _gather from_you they _were tribute on/upon_it(f) reproach.

19 HERE_I am_about _to _deal with all _of those _of_who_afflicted _you at_time (the)_that and_I _will _save DOM the_one_who _is_lame and_the_one_who _is_outthrow I _will _gather and_I_will _make _them (into)_praise and _(into)_a_name in_all the_earth/land shame _of_their.

20 At_time (the)_that I _will _bring you(pl) and_at_time gather_I you(pl) if/because I _will _make you(pl) (into)_a_name and_(into)_praise among_all _of the _peoples _of the_earth/land when_I_turn _back DOM captiviti(es)_of_your(pl) to_eyes _of_your(pl) YHWH he _says.
