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.

ULT For as the rain and snow come down from heaven
⇔ and do not return there but saturate the earth
⇔ and make it produce and sprout
⇔ and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
UST Yahweh sends the rain and snow down from the sky,
⇔ and they water the ground.
⇔ When the ground becomes moist, it causes plants to sprout and grow,
⇔ with the result that the soil produces seed for the farmer to plant and grain to produce flour to make bread for people to eat.
BSB For just as rain and snow fall from heaven
⇔ and do not return without watering the earth,
⇔ making it bud and sprout,
⇔ and providing seed to sow and food to eat,
OEB ⇔ For even as the rain and the snow
⇔ that descend from the heaven, return not
⇔ without having watered the earth,
⇔ and caused it to bear and sprout,
⇔ giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater,
WEBBE For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky,

NET The rain and snow fall from the sky
⇔ and do not return,

And the snow from the heavens,
And does not return there,
But has watered the earth,

FBV It's like the rain and snow that fall from heaven. They don't go back there until they've watered the earth, making plants grow and flower, providing seeds for the sower and food to eat.
T4T Rain and snow come down from the sky,
⇔ and they cause the ground to be moist before the moisture returns to the sky and produces more clouds.
