ISA 49:20 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 as a tool 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 / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) The children born during the time of your bereavement

(Some words not found in UHB: again/more say in/on/at/with,hearing_of,your sons_of bereavement_of,your small to=me the,place make_room, to/for=me and,settle )

Yahweh speaks of the time when the people of Jerusalem were in exile as if the city was bereaved of her children. Those who were born while the people were in exile are spoken of as the city’s children. Alternate translation: “Those who will inhabit you, who were born while the people were in exile”

(Occurrence 0) The place is too cramped for us

(Some words not found in UHB: again/more say in/on/at/with,hearing_of,your sons_of bereavement_of,your small to=me the,place make_room, to/for=me and,settle )

This means that there will be so many people that the city will be too small for them all to live in it.
