uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) He blocked my path

(Some words not found in UHB: blocked ways_of,my in/on/at/with,blocks_of_stone paths_of,my made_~_crooked )

The author speaks of God causing him to continue to suffer as if God was preventing him from escaping the suffering by blocking his path. Alternate translation: “It is as though he blocked my path”

(Occurrence 0) a wall of hewn stone

(Some words not found in UHB: blocked ways_of,my in/on/at/with,blocks_of_stone paths_of,my made_~_crooked )

“a wall of cut stones.” People would cut stones into regular shapes that could fit together well in order to build a strong wall.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) he made my paths crooked

(Some words not found in UHB: blocked ways_of,my in/on/at/with,blocks_of_stone paths_of,my made_~_crooked )

Crooked paths do not lead people to where they want to go. Here they represent unsuccessful ways of escaping suffering. Alternate translation: “it is as though he has made my paths crooked” or “I have tried to make the suffering stop, but God has prevented me, like one who prevents another from escaping by making his paths crooked”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

3:9 blocked my way . . . made my road crooked: Sin causes confusion and cuts a person or a community off from a happy future. Innocent people know the future as a straight path that is easy to follow (Prov 21:8). Isaiah imagined God’s activities as a procession on a straight road that his worshipers would prepare (Isa 40:3).

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
