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 the_nations just_as you_have_done it_will_be_done to_you deeds_your it_will_return in/on/at/with_head_your_own.
16If/because just_as you_all_have_drunk on the_mountain holy_my they_will_drink all the_nations continually and_drink and_gulp_down and_they_will_be as_though_never they_had_been.
