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.

(Some words not found in UHB: which/who took,you from,ends the=earth/land and,from,farthest_corners,its called,you and,said to/for=yourself(m) servant,my you(ms) chosen,you and=not rejected,you )

These two lines mean basically the same thing and emphasize that Yahweh is bringing the people of Israel back to their land from distant countries.

(Occurrence 0) the ends of the earth

(Some words not found in UHB: which/who took,you from,ends the=earth/land and,from,farthest_corners,its called,you and,said to/for=yourself(m) servant,my you(ms) chosen,you and=not rejected,you )

The places on the earth that are very far away are spoken of as if they were the places where the earth ends. See how you translated this in Isaiah 41:5. AT “the farthest places of the earth”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second states in negative terms what the first states in positive terms. (See also: figs-litotes)
