ISA 47:10 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—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

וַ⁠תִּבְטְחִ֣י בְ⁠רָעָתֵ֗⁠ךְ אָמַרְתְּ֙ אֵ֣ין רֹאָ֔⁠נִי חָכְמָתֵ֥⁠ךְ וְ⁠דַעְתֵּ֖⁠ךְ הִ֣יא שׁוֹבְבָ֑תֶ⁠ךְ וַ⁠תֹּאמְרִ֣י בְ⁠לִבֵּ֔⁠ךְ אֲנִ֖י וְ⁠אַפְסִ֥⁠י עֽוֹד

and,you_trusted in,evil_of,your said not [one_of,who]_sees_me wisdom_of,your and,knowledge_of,your she/it it,has_led_you_away and,you_said in,heart_of,your I and,only_of,I again/more

Yahweh uses the word But here to indicate a contrast between the judgment he has just announced and Babylon’s confidence in her own wickedness and wisdom. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [However, you trusted in your wickedness; you said, ‘No one is seeing me.’ Your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray, and you said in your heart, ‘I am, and besides me there is none.’]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

בְ⁠רָעָתֵ֗⁠ךְ

in,evil_of,your

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wickedness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in your wicked deeds]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

חָכְמָתֵ֥⁠ךְ וְ⁠דַעְתֵּ֖⁠ךְ הִ֣יא שׁוֹבְבָ֑תֶ⁠ךְ

wisdom_of,your and,knowledge_of,your she/it it,has_led_you_away

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about Your wisdom and your knowledge with the information about how it led you astray. Alternate translation: [Your wisdom and your knowledge led you astray]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

חָכְמָתֵ֥⁠ךְ וְ⁠דַעְתֵּ֖⁠ךְ

wisdom_of,your and,knowledge_of,your

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of wisdom and knowledge, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [How wise you are and what you know]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

חָכְמָתֵ֥⁠ךְ וְ⁠דַעְתֵּ֖⁠ךְ

wisdom_of,your and,knowledge_of,your

The terms wisdom and knowledge mean similar things. Yahweh is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [Your great wisdom]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הִ֣יא שׁוֹבְבָ֑תֶ⁠ךְ

she/it it,has_led_you_away

Yahweh is using it led you astray as a common expression of the culture to mean “it caused you to make a serious mistake.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [it caused you to make a serious mistake]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠תֹּאמְרִ֣י בְ⁠לִבֵּ֔⁠ךְ

and,you_said in,heart_of,your

Here, heart represents “inner thoughts.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and you said in your mind]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠אַפְסִ֥⁠י עֽוֹד

and,only_of,I again/more

See how you translated the similar expression in [47:8](../47/08.md).
