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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) that halfway through my life

(Some words not found in UHB: I said in/on/at/with,prime life,my go in/on/at/with,gates sheol consigned rest years,my )

“that before I have grown old.” This refers to dying at middle age, before growing old.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) I will go through the gates of Sheol

(Some words not found in UHB: I said in/on/at/with,prime life,my go in/on/at/with,gates sheol consigned rest years,my )

This speaks of dying as if Sheol were a kingdom that has gates that one enters. Alternate translation: “I will die and go to Sheol”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) I am sent there for the rest of my years

(Some words not found in UHB: I said in/on/at/with,prime life,my go in/on/at/with,gates sheol consigned rest years,my )

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: “before I have lived all of my years I will go to the grave”
