ISA 16:7 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—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

If the connection between this statement and the previous one is not clear, you may want to use a different connecting word to show how this statement relates to what comes before it. Alternate translation: [Because of their pride,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

יְיֵלִ֥יל מוֹאָ֛ב לְ⁠מוֹאָ֖ב

wail Mōʼāⱱ for,Moab

Isaiah is speaking of Moab as if it were a living thing that could wail. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the people of Moab will wail over their land]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

for,the_raisin-cakes_of Qīr- -hareseth

The term raisin cakes refers to a kind of dried-fruit food made from pressed grapes. If your readers would not be familiar with what raisin cakes are, you could use the name of a similar thing that your readers would recognize, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [the dried-fruit treats of Kir Hareseth]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

אַךְ־נְכָאִֽים

The expression stricken is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [they will grieve]
