ISA 29:4 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 as a tool 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) You will be brought down

(Some words not found in UHB: and,brought_low from,earth speak and,from,dust low words_of,your and=it_was like,ghost from,ground voice_of,your and,from,dust speech_of,your whisper )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Your enemy will bring you down” or “Your enemy will humble you”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

(Occurrence 0) will speak from the ground; your speech will be low from the dust. Your voice will sound like a spirit that speaks from the ground, and out of the dust your speech will whisper

(Some words not found in UHB: and,brought_low from,earth speak and,from,dust low words_of,your and=it_was like,ghost from,ground voice_of,your and,from,dust speech_of,your whisper )

All of these statements mean basically the same thing. They emphasize that the people who once spoke with proud words will be weak and grieving after the enemy defeats them. Alternate translation: “you will only be able to speak with weak whispers like a spirit speaking from where dead people dwell” (See also: figs-parallelism)
