OET (OET-RV) I’ll scatter them before their enemies like the east wind from the desert does.
⇔ I won’t look at them but will turn my back when their disaster comes.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) I will scatter them before their enemies like an eastern wind
(Some words not found in UHB: like,a_wind_of east I,will_scatter_them to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before enemy back and=not face I,will_see_them in/on=day their_disaster_of,their )
Yahweh speaks of causing the people to flee before their enemies as if he were an eastern wind that scatters dust and debris. Alternate translation: [I will be like an eastern wind and scatter them before their enemies] or [I will scatter them before their enemies like an eastern wind scatters dust and debris]
(Occurrence 0) will scatter them

Here the word “them” refers to “my people.”

(Occurrence 0) I will show them my back, and not my face

“I will turn my back toward them, and not my face.” Turning one’s back towards someone is a symbolic action that represents rejection and turning one’s face towards someone is a symbolic action that represents favor. Alternate translation: [I will reject them and not act favorably towards them]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
