ISA 55:11 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

(Occurrence 0) so also my word … it will achieve the purpose for which I sent it

(Some words not found in UHB: yes/correct/thus/so will_belong word_of,my which/who goes_out from,mouth_of,my not return to=me empty that/for/because/then/when if he/it_had_made DOM which/who desire and,succeed which/who sent,it )

Yahweh speaks of his word as if it were a person whom he sends out as his messenger to accomplish a task. (See also: figs-metaphor)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

(Occurrence 0) my word will be that goes from my mouth

Here the word “mouth” represents Yahweh himself. Alternate translation: “the word that I speak”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) it will not return to me empty

Here the description of the word returning to Yahweh means that it has completed the task that Yahweh had sent it to complete. That it will not return “empty” means that it will not fail to accomplish its task. Alternate translation: “it will not fail to complete its task”
