HAB 2:6 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

(Some words not found in UHB: am=not these all,them on/upon/above=him/it taunt take_up and,ridicule riddles to=him/it and,say woe the,heaps_up not to=him/it until when(q) and,loads on/upon/above=him/it goods_taken_in_pledge )

The words “all these” refer to the nations and peoples from Habakkuk 2:5. This negative rhetorical question emphasizes the positive answer. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “All of these nations and peoples will certainly create”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) Woe to the one increasing what is not his

It is implicit that he is increasing his possession of things that do not belong to him. Alternate translation: “Woe to the one who claims for himself more and more things that do not belong to him”

(Occurrence 0) For how long will you increase the weight of the pledges you have taken?

The word “pledges” refers to objects that people give to others from whom they have borrowed money as a guarantee that they will repay their debt. As the man collects more and more pledges, the total weight of the pledges that he carries increases.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) For how long will you increase the weight of the pledges you have taken?

The Chaldeans robbing the people of the nations of their wealth is spoken of as if the Chaldeans were a person who forces others to give him pledges and to pay him what they do not owe. Alternate translation: “For how long will you make yourself rich by extorting others?”
