ISA 43:2 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) When you pass through the waters … the flames will not destroy you

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when pass in/on/at/with,waters with,you I and,in/on/at/with,rivers not overwhelm,you that/for/because/then/when you(ms)_will_walk through fire not burned and,flame not burn on/over=you(fs) )

Yahweh speaks of suffering and difficult experiences as if they are deep waters and fires through which the people walk. The words “waters” and “flames” form a merism and emphasize any difficult circumstance. (See also: figs-merism)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Occurrence 0) When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you

These two statements mean basically the same thing and emphasize that the people will experience no harm because Yahweh is with them.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) you will not be burned

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: “it will not burn you”
