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

General Information:

Yahweh speaks of blessing the people freely as if he were selling food and drink to needy people for free.

Connecting Statement:

Yahweh continues speaking to the people of Jerusalem in exile through Isaiah.

(Occurrence 0) Come … Come

(Some words not found in UHB: ho all/each/any/every thirsty come to_the,waters and=which not to=him/it money come buy and,eat and,come buy in/on/at/with,no money and,in/on/at/with,no cost wine and,milk )

The repetition of this word four times adds a sense of urgency to the invitation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / irony

(Occurrence 0) buy wine and milk without money and without cost

There is a sense of irony in this statement since a person usually has to use money to buy something. This emphasizes Yahweh’s amazing grace in giving these things freely.
