OET-LV (JER 9:21) [fn] Speak thus the_utterance_of YHWH and_ the_corpse[s]_of the_humankind _it_will_fall like_dung on the_surface_of the_field and_like_cut_grain from_behind the_reaper and_there_will_not_be one_who_gathers.
9:21 Note: KJB: Jer.9.22
OET (OET-RV) Yahweh says to pass this on:
⇔ Human corpses will fall like dung across the ground’s surface
⇔ and like fallen grain after the harvesters have finished,
⇔ and there’s no one to collect them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
(Occurrence 0) the corpses of men will fall like dung … like grain stalks after the reapers
(Some words not found in UHB: speak thus declares_of YHWH and,it_will_fall corpses_of the=humankind like,dung on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=field and,like,cut_grain from,behind the,reaper and,there_[will]_not_[be] gather )
These two phrases mean the same thing and emphasize the large number dead bodies. Alternate translation: [dead bodies will fall all over the place]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
(Occurrence 0) corpses of men will fall like dung in the fields
(Some words not found in UHB: speak thus declares_of YHWH and,it_will_fall corpses_of the=humankind like,dung on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=field and,like,cut_grain from,behind the,reaper and,there_[will]_not_[be] gather )
This describes the great number of people who will die, by comparing their bodies to dung that falls in the fields. Alternate translation: [dead bodies will drop everywhere like animal dung falls all over the fields]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
(Occurrence 0) like grain stalks after the reapers
(Some words not found in UHB: speak thus declares_of YHWH and,it_will_fall corpses_of the=humankind like,dung on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=field and,like,cut_grain from,behind the,reaper and,there_[will]_not_[be] gather )
This describes the great number of people who will die, by comparing their bodies to cut stalks of grain. Alternate translation: [like stalks of grain fall everywhere after the farmers cut them down]
(Occurrence 0) there will be no one to gather them
(Some words not found in UHB: speak thus declares_of YHWH and,it_will_fall corpses_of the=humankind like,dung on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of the=field and,like,cut_grain from,behind the,reaper and,there_[will]_not_[be] gather )
Alternate translation: [there will be nobody to gather the dead bodies]
