Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

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.

(Occurrence 0) All flesh is grass
(Some words not found in UHB: sound/voice says cry_out and=saying(ms) what cry all/each/any/every the,flesh grass and=all constancy,its like,flower the=field )
The word “flesh” refers to people. The speaker speaks of humans as if they are grass, because they both die quickly. Alternate translation: “All people are like grass”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
(Occurrence 0) all their covenant faithfulness is like the flower of the field
(Some words not found in UHB: sound/voice says cry_out and=saying(ms) what cry all/each/any/every the,flesh grass and=all constancy,its like,flower the=field )
The speaker compares the covenant faithfulness of people to flowers that bloom and then die quickly. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word faithfulness, you can express the same idea with a verbal form such as “faithful.” See how you translated “covenant faithfulness” in Isaiah 16:5. Alternate translation: “they quickly stop being faithful to the covenant, just like a flower of the field dies quickly” (See also: figs-abstractnouns)
(Occurrence 0) covenant faithfulness
(Some words not found in UHB: sound/voice says cry_out and=saying(ms) what cry all/each/any/every the,flesh grass and=all constancy,its like,flower the=field )
This could mean: (1) covenant faithfulness or (2) beauty.
