ISA 28:11 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠לַעֲגֵ֣י שָׂפָ֔ה

by,stammerings_of language

Isaiah is using the word lip to mean a foreign language, since lips are used to speak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [with the stammering speech of a foreign language]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בְּ⁠לַעֲגֵ֣י שָׂפָ֔ה

by,stammerings_of language

Isaiah is using the possessive form to describe stammerings that are characterized by being from a foreign lip, that is, speech that sounds like stammering because it is in a foreign language. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [with stammering speech]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְּ⁠לַעֲגֵ֣י

by,stammerings_of
