ISA 3:4 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 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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) I will place mere youths as their leaders, and the young will rule over them

(Some words not found in UHB: and,make boys princes,their and,babes rule in/on/at/with,them )

These phrases mean basically the same thing. This could mean: (1) “I will place young people as their leaders, and those young people will rule over them” or (2) “youths” is a metaphor for simple and foolish men. Alternate translation: “I will place over them leaders who are immature, like young people, and those bad leaders will rule over them” (See also: figs-metaphor)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) I will place

(Some words not found in UHB: and,make boys princes,their and,babes rule in/on/at/with,them )

Here the word “I” refers to Yahweh. This can also be stated clearly. Alternate translation: “Yahweh says, ‘I will place”
