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. This view displays the entire ‘book’ so it may be very long to scroll through.

Hosea

1 The_message_of YHWH which it_came to Hōshēˊa the_son_of Bəʼērī in_the_days_of ˊUzziyyāh Yōtām/(Jotham) ʼĀḩāz Ḩizqiyyāh the_kings_of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) and_in_the_days_of Yāroⱱˊām/(Jeroboam) the_son_of Yōʼāsh/(Joash) the_king_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel).
2 The_beginning_of YHWH (of)_when_he_spoke by_Hōshēˊa and_ YHWH _he/it_said to Hōshēˊa go take to/for_yourself(m) a_wife_of prostitution(s) and_children_of prostitution(s) if/because continually_(prostitute_itself) the_earth/land it_prostitutes_itself from_after YHWH.
3 And_he/it_went and_he/it_took DOM Gomer the_daughter_of Diⱱlayim and_she/it_conceived/became_pregnant and_she/it_gave_birth to_him/it a_son.
4 And_ YHWH _he/it_said to_him/it call his/its_name Yizrəˊʼēl/(Jezreel) if/because yet a_little and_I_will_visit DOM the_blood(s)_of Yizrəˊʼēl/(Jezreel) on the_house_of Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) and_I_will_put_an_end_to the_kingdom_of the_house_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel).
5 And_it_was in_the_day (the)_that and_I_will_break DOM the_bow_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) in_the_valley_of Yizrəˊʼēl/(Jezreel).
6 And_she/it_conceived/became_pregnant again and_she/it_gave_birth a_daughter and_he/it_said to_him/it call his/its_name Lo- Ruḩāmāh if/because not I_will_repeat again I_will_have_compassion_on DOM the_house_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) if/because certainly_(forgive) I_will_forgive to/for_them.
7 And_DOM the_house_of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) I_will_have_compassion_on and_I_will_save_them by_YHWH god_of_their and_not I_will_save_them by_bow and_by_sword and_by_battle by_horses and_by_horsemen.
8 And_she_weaned DOM Lo- Ruḩāmāh and_she/it_conceived/became_pregnant and_she/it_gave_birth a_son.
9 And_he/it_said call his/its_name Lo- Ammi if/because you(pl) not people_of_are_my and_I not I_will_belong to_you(pl).
2 [fn] And_it_was the_number_of the_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) like_the_sand_of the_sea which not it_will_be_measured and_not it_will_be_counted and_it_was in_the_place_of (of)_where it_was_said to/for_them not people_of_are_my you(pl) it_will_be_said to/for_them children_of the_god living.
2 [fn] And_ the_people_of Yəhūdāh and_the_sons of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) _they_will_be_gathered together and_they_will_appoint to/for_them a_leader one and_they_will_go_up from the_earth/land if/because will_be_great the_day_of Yizrəˊʼēl/(Jezreel).
3 [fn] Say to_brothers_of_your(pl) people_of_my and_to_sisters_of_your(pl) she_is_shown_compassion.
4 [fn] Conduct_a_case with_mother_of_your(pl) conduct_a_case if/because she not wife_of_is_my and_I not her/its_husband/man and_let_her_remove prostitution(s)_of_her from_face_of_her[fn] and_adulteries_of_her from_between breasts_of_her.
5 [fn] Lest I_should_strip_her naked and_I_will_exhibit_her like_the_day_of she_was_born and_I_will_make_her like_wilderness and_I_will_make_her like_a_land dryness and_I_should_make_her_die with_thirst.
6 [fn] And_DOM her/its_sons/descendants not I_will_have_compassion_on if/because are_children_of prostitution(s) they.
7 [fn] If/because mother_of_their she_has_prostituted_herself the_one_of_who_conceived_them she_has_acted_shamefully if/because she_said I_will_go after lovers_of_my who_give_of food_of_(of)_my and_water_of_my wool_of_my and_flax_of_my oil_of_my and_drinks_of_my.
8 [fn] For_so/thus/hence here_I am_about_to_fence_up DOM way_of_your with_thorns and_I_will_wall_up DOM wall_of_her and_paths_of_her not she_will_find.
9 [fn] And_she_will_pursue DOM lovers_of_her and_not she_will_overtake DOM_them and_she_will_seek_them and_not she_will_find_them and_she_will_say I_will_go and_I_will_return to husband_of_my (the)_former if/because it_was_good to_me then more_than_now.
10 [fn] And_she not she_knows if/because_that I I_gave to/for_her/it the_grain and_the_new_wine and_the_fresh_oil and_silver I_multiplied to/for_her/it and_gold which_they_made into_Baˊal.
11 [fn] For_so/thus/hence I_will_return and_I_will_take grain_of_my at_its_appropriate_of_time and_my_new_of_wine at_its_appointed_of_time and_I_will_take_away wool_of_my and_flax_of_my to_cover DOM nakedness_of_her.
12 [fn] And_now I_will_uncover DOM lewdness_of_her to_the_eyes_of her_lovers and_anyone not he_will_deliver_her from_hand_of_my.
13 [fn] And_I_will_put_an_end_to all_of joy_of_her festival[s]_of_her moon[s]_of_her_new and_sabbath[s]_of_her and_all/each/any/every feast_of_her_appointed.
14 [fn] And_I_will_devastate vine[s]_of_her and_her_fig_of_tree[s] which she_said are_wage[s] they to_me which they_gave to_me lovers_of_my and_I_will_make_them into_a_thicket and_it_will_consume_them the_animal[s]_of the_field.
15 [fn] And_I_will_visit on/upon_it(f) DOM the_days_of the_Baˊal when she_made_smoke to/for_them and_she_adorned_herself ring[s]_of_her and_jewelry_of_her and_she_went after lovers_of_her and_me she_forgot the_utterance_of YHWH.
16 [fn] For_so/thus/hence HERE I am_about_of_to_persuade_her and_I_will_lead_her the_wilderness and_I_will_speak to[fn][fn][fn] her/its_heart.
17 [fn] And_I_will_give to/for_her/it DOM vineyards_of_her from_there and_DOM the_valley_of ˊĀkōr to_a_door_of hope and_she_will_answer there_(to) like_the_days_of her_youth(s)_of_her and_like_the_day_of[fn] she_ascended from_the_land_of Miʦrayim/(Egypt).
18 [fn] And_it_was in_day (the)_that the_utterance_of YHWH you_will_call husband_of_my and_not you_will_call to_me again Baˊal_my.
19 [fn] And_I_will_remove DOM the_names_of the_Baˊal from_mouth_of_her and_not they_will_be_remembered again by_name_of_their.
20 [fn] And_I_will_make to/for_them a_covenant in_the_day (the)_that with the_animal[s]_of the_field and_with the_bird[s]_of the_heavens and_the_creeping_thing[s]_of the_soil and_bow and_sword and_battle I_will_break from the_earth/land and_I_will_make_them_lie_down to_security.
21 [fn] And_I_will_betroth_you to_me forever_perpetuity and_I_will_betroth_you to_me in_righteousness and_in_justice and_in_covenant_loyalty and_in_compassion(s).
22 [fn] And_I_will_betroth_you to_me in_faithfulness and_you_will_know DOM YHWH.
23 [fn] And_it_was in_the_day (the)_that I_will_answer the_utterance_of YHWH I_will_answer DOM the_heavens and_they they_will_answer DOM the_earth/land.
24 [fn] And_the_earth it_will_answer DOM the_grain and_DOM the_new_wine and_DOM the_fresh_oil and_they they_will_answer DOM Yizrəˊʼēl/(Jezreel).
25 [fn] And_I_will_sow_her to/for_me on_the_earth and_I_will_have_compassion_on DOM Lo- Ruhamah and_I_will_say to_Lo- ammi people_of_are_my you and_he he_will_say god_of_my.
3 And_ YHWH _he/it_said to_me again go love a_woman who_is_loved_of a_companion and_who_commits_adultery as_ YHWH _loves DOM the_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_they are_turning to gods other and_they_are_loving_of (of)_cakes_of grapes.
2 And_I_bought_her to/for_me for_fif- teen silver and_a_homer_of barley(s) and_a_lethech_of barley(s).
3 And_I_said to_her/it days many you_will_dwell to_me not you_must_prostitute_yourself and_not you_must_belong to_a_man and_also I to_you.
4 If/because days many the_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) they_will_dwell there_will_not_be a_king and_there_will_not_be a_prince and_there_will_not_be a_sacrifice and_there_will_not_be a_pillar and_there_will_not_be an_ephod and_teraphim.
5 After the_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) they_will_return and_they_will_seek DOM YHWH god_of_their and_DOM Dāvid king_of_their and_they_will_be_in_dread to YHWH and_near/to goodness_of_his in_end/latter the_days.
4 Hear the_message_of YHWH Oh_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) if/because a_case_at_law to/for_YHWH with the_inhabitants_of the_earth/land if/because there_is_not faithfulness and_there_is_not covenant_loyalty and_there_is_not knowledge_of god on_the_earth.
2 Cursing and_deceiving and_murdering and_stealing and_committing_adultery people_have_broken_out and_blood(s) (in)_blood(s) they_have_touched.
3 Therefore yes/correct/thus/so the_earth/land it_will_dry_up and_ every_of one_who_dwells in_it _he_will_languish among_the_animal[s]_of the_field and_on/over_bird_of the_heavens and_also the_fish(es)_of the_sea they_will_be_removed.
4 Nevertheless anyone not let_him_bring_a_case and_not anyone let_him_reprove and_people_of_your is_like_those_who_contend_of (of)_a_priest.
5 And_you_will_stumble the_day and_ also a_prophet _he_will_stumble with_you night and_I_will_destroy mother_of_your.
6 People_of_my they_have_been_destroyed from_not_of (the)_knowledge if/because you the_knowledge you_have_rejected and_I_will_reject_you from_serving_as_a_priest to_me and_you_have_forgotten the_law_of your(pl)_god_of_your also I I_will_forget children_of_your.
7 As_increased_they so they_sinned to_me glory_of_their for_shame I_will_exchange.
8 The_sin_of my_people_of_my they_eat and_near/to iniquity_of_their they_lift_up desire_of_its.
9 And_it_was as_people as_priest and_I_will_visit on/upon/above_him/it ways_of_his and_deeds_of_his I_will_repay to_him/it.
10 And_they_will_eat and_not they_will_be_satisfied they_will_prostitute_themselves and_not they_will_increase if/because DOM YHWH they_have_abandoned to_guard/protect.
11 Prostitution and_wine and_new_wine it_takes_away the_heart.
12 People_of_my by_wood_of_his he_enquires and_stick_of_his it_tells to_him/it if/because a_spirit_of prostitution(s) it_has_misled and_they_have_prostituted_themselves from_under god_of_their.
13 On the_tops_of the_mountains they_sacrifice and_on the_hills they_make_smoke under oak and_poplar and_terebinth if/because is_good shade_of_its therefore yes/correct/thus/so daughters_of_your(pl) they_prostitute_themselves and_brides_of_your(pl) they_commit_adultery.
14 Not I_will_visit_judgement on daughters_of_your(pl) if/because they_prostitute_themselves and_on brides_of_your(pl) if/because they_commit_adultery if/because they(m) with the_prostitutes they_go_apart and_with the_male_cult_prostitutes they_sacrifice and_a_people which_not it_understands it_will_be_ruined.
15 Though you are_prostituting_yourself Oh_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) not Yəhūdāh/(Judah) let_it_become_guilty and_do_not go (the)_Gilgal and_do_not go_up Bēyt Aven and_do_not swear by_the_life of_YHWH.
16 If/because like_a_heifer stubborn Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) it_is_stubborn now he_will_pasture_them YHWH like_a_lamb in_(the)_place.
17 Is_joined_of idols ʼEfrayim leave_alone to_him/it.
18 Drink_of_their it_has_come_to_an_end continually_(prostitute_themselves) they_have_prostituted_themselves they_have_loved love shame shields_of_its.
19 A_wind it_has_wrapped it in_wings_of_its and_they_will_be_ashamed from_sacrifices_of_their[fn][fn][fn]
5 hear this Oh_priests and_pay_attention Oh_house_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_Oh_house_of the_king give_ear if/because to/for_you(pl) the_judgement if/because a_trap you(pl)_have_been to_Miʦpāh and_a_net_of spread_out over Tāⱱōr.
2 And_slaughtering rebels they_have_made_deep and_I am_discipline to/for_all_them.
3 I I_know ʼEfrayim and_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) not it_is_hidden from_me if/because now you_have_prostituted_yourself Oh_ʼEfrayim Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) it_has_made_itself_unclean.
4 Not they_permit deeds_of_their to_return to god_of_their if/because a_spirit_of prostitution(s) is_in_their_inner_of_being and_DOM YHWH not they_know.
5 And_ the_pride_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) _it_testifies in_face_of_its and_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_ʼEfrayim they_will_stumble on_iniquity_of_their also Yəhūdāh/(Judah) it_will_stumble with_them.
6 With_flock[s]_of_their and_with_herd[s]_of_their they_will_go to_seek DOM YHWH and_not they_will_find_him he_has_withdrawn from_them.
7 With_YHWH they_have_dealt_treacherously if/because children strange they_have_borne now it_will_devour_them a_new_moon with portions_of_their.
8 Blow a_horn in_Giⱱˊāh a_trumpet in_Rāmāh sound_an_alarm Bēyt Aven after_you Oh_Binyāmīn.
9 ʼEfrayim (into)_a_waste it_will_become in/on_day rebuke among_the_tribes_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) I_make_known that_which_is_trustworthy.
10 The_leaders_of Yəhūdāh they_have_become like_those_who_displace_of (of)_a_boundary on_them I_will_pour_out like_water severe_anger_of_my.
11 ʼEfrayim is_oppressed it_is_crushed_of judgement if/because he_was_determined he_walked after a_command.
12 And_I am_like_moth to_ʼEfrayim and_like_rottenness to_the_house_of Yəhūdāh.
13 And_ ʼEfrayim _he/it_saw DOM sickness_of_his and_Yəhūdāh/(Yihudah) DOM sore[s]_of_his and_ ʼEfrayim _he/it_went to ʼAshshūr and_he_sent to the_king great and_he not he_is_able to_heal to/for_you(pl) and_not it_will_depart from_you(pl) the_sore[s].
14 If/because I will_like_(the)_lion to_ʼEfrayim and_like_(the)_lion to_the_house_of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) I I I_will_tear_to_pieces and_I_will_go I_will_carry_off and_there_will_not_be a_deliverer.
15 I_will_go I_will_return to place_of_my until that they_will_be_held_guilty and_they_will_seek face_of_my in_distress to/for_them they_will_seek_me_earnestly.
6 Come and_let_us_return to YHWH if/because he he_has_torn_to_pieces and_he_will_heal_us he_has_struck and_he_will_bind_us_up.
2 He_will_restore_us_to_life from_two_days in_the_day the_third he_will_raise_us_up and_we_will_live before_him.
3 And_let_us_know let_us_pursue to_know DOM YHWH like_the_dawn forth_of_his_going is_steadfast and_he_will_come like_rain to/for_us like_the_spring_rain which_it_waters the_land.
4 What will_I_do to_you Oh_ʼEfrayim what will_I_do to_you Oh_Yəhūdāh and_loyalty_of_your(pl) is_like_a_cloud_of the_morning and_like_dew which_rises_early which_goes.
5 Therefore yes/correct/thus/so I_have_cut_them_in_pieces by_prophets I_have_killed_them by_the_words/messages_of my_mouth_of_my and_judgements_of_your is_light which_it_goes_forth.
6 If/because covenant_loyalty I_desire and_not sacrifice and_the_knowledge_of god more_than_burnt_offerings.
7 And_they like_ʼĀdām they_have_transgressed the_covenant there they_dealt_treacherously with_me.
8 Gilˊād is_a_town_of those_who_do_of (of)_wickedness tracked from_blood.
9 And_as_ marauding_bands _wait a_person an_association_of priests the_way they_murder to_Shəkem if/because wickedness they_have_done.
10 In_house_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) I_have_seen a_horrible_thing[fn] there prostitution belongs_to_ʼEfrayim Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) it_has_made_itself_unclean.
11 Also Oh_Yəhūdāh/(Judah) a_harvest he_has_appointed to/for_you(fs) when_I_turn_back the_captivity_of my_people_of_my.
7 Just_as_I_heal (to)_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_ the_iniquity_of ʼEfrayim and_the_evil_deeds_of Shomrōn _it_is_revealed if/because they_do falsehood and_a_thief he_comes a_marauding_band it_attacks in_street.
2 And_not they_say to_heart_of_their all_of evil_of_their I_remember now they_have_surrounded_them deeds_of_their before face_of_my they_are.
3 By_evil_of_their they_make_glad the_king and_by_lies_of_their princes.
4 Of_them_of_all are_adulterers like an_oven which_burns from_a_baker who_he_ceases stirring_up from_kneading the_dough until it_is_leavened.
5 The_day_of our_king_of_our princes they_became_sick fever_of from_wine he_stretched_out his/its_hand with mockers.
6 If/because they_have_brought_near like_oven heart_of_their in_ambush_of_their all_of the_night is_sleeping their_of_baker morning it is_burning like_a_fire_of flame.
7 Of_them_of_all they_are_hot like_oven and_they_devour DOM rulers_of_their all_of kings_of_their they_have_fallen there_is_not one_who_calls in/among_them to_me.
8 ʼEfrayim among_peoples he he_mixes_himself ʼEfrayim he_has_become a_bread_cake not turned_over.
9 Strangers they_have_consumed strength_of_his and_he not he_knows also grey_hair it_has_sneaked_in in/on/over_him/it and_he not he_knows.
10 And_ the_pride_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) _it_testifies in_face_of_its and_not they_have_returned to YHWH god_of_their and_not they_have_sought_him in_all this.
11 And_ ʼEfrayim _he/it_was like_a_dove silly there_is_not heart Miʦrayim/(Egypt) they_have_called ʼAshshūr they_have_gone.
12 Just_as they_will_go I_will_spread over_them net_of_my like_the_bird[s]_of the_heavens I_will_bring_them_down I_will_chasten_them according_to_a_report to_assembly_of_their.
