Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:1-30 Earthly kingdoms all pass away. As Nebuchadnezzar’s dream implied, Babylon would pass away and a new sovereign kingdom would take its place (2:39). After Nebuchadnezzar’s death in 562 BC, violence and debauchery increased in the palaces of Babylon until, during Belshazzar’s feast in 539 BC, even God’s holy vessels were polluted and defiled. God’s judgment came with lightning swiftness that night (5:30), and the next kingdom took over (see 2:3239; 5:31).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

כֹּ֣ל עַֽמְמַיָּ֗⁠א אֻמַיָּ⁠א֙ וְ⁠לִשָּׁ֣נַיָּ֔⁠א

all peoples,the nations,the and,languages,the

This phrase uses the word all as a generalization that represents a large number. Alternate translation: “a great number of people, of different nations and languages”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כֹּ֣ל עַֽמְמַיָּ֗⁠א אֻמַיָּ⁠א֙ וְ⁠לִשָּׁ֣נַיָּ֔⁠א

all peoples,the nations,the and,languages,the

Here “nations” and “languages” represent people from different nations who speak different languages. See how you translated this in [Daniel 3:4](../03/04.md). Alternate translation: “people from different nations and who speak different languages”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

הֲו֛וֹ זאעין וְ⁠דָחֲלִ֖ין מִן־קֳדָמ֑וֹ⁠הִי

were feared and,feared from/more_than of,him

These words mean basically the same thing and emphasize the intensity of the fear. Alternate translation: “were very afraid of him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

דִּֽי־הֲוָ֨ה צָבֵ֜א הֲוָ֣א קָטֵ֗ל

that/who he_was wanted he_was killed

This phrase does not mean King Nebuchadnezzar put people to death himself, but rather those he commanded. Alternate translation: “Nebuchadnezzar commanded his soldiers to kill those he wanted to die”

וְ⁠דִֽי־הֲוָ֤ה צָבֵא֙ הֲוָ֣ה מָרִ֔ים

and,whomever he_was wanted he_was and,whomever he_was wanted he_was exalted

Alternate translation: “He raised up those he wanted to raise up”

וְ⁠דִֽי־הֲוָ֥ה צָבֵ֖א הֲוָ֥ה מַשְׁפִּֽיל

and,whomever and,whomever and,whomever he_was wanted he_was humbled

Alternate translation: “and he humbled those he wished to humble”
