The punishment of nations

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Readers’ Version

Literal Version

1:15 The punishment of nations

15For all the nations, Yahweh’s day is near,

Just as you’ve done, the same will be done to you.

≈ Your actions will return onto your own head.

16Because just like how all you Israelis[fn] drank suffering on my holy mountain,

all the nations will drink continually.

They will drink and swallow it down.

They’ll become as if they’d never even existed.


1:16 It’s not actually clear from the Hebrew who ‘you all’ refers to, so the addition of ‘Israelis’ is clearly an interpretive decision and other translations might differ.

15If/because is_near the_day_of YHWH on all_of the_nations just_as you_have_done it_will_be_done to_you deeds_of_your it_will_return in/on/at/with_head_of_your_own.
16If/because just_as you(pl)_have_drunk on the_mountain_of holy_of_my all_of they_will_drink the_nations continually and_drink and_gulp_down and_they_will_be as_though_never they_had_been.
