ISA 56:10 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. 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:

(Occurrence 0) All their watchmen are blind

(Some words not found in UHB: צפו blind all_of,them not know all_of,they dogs mute not they_can to,bark dream lying_down love_of to,slumber )

This means Israel’s leaders cannot or perhaps do not want to see what is going on in society.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) They are all silent dogs

(Some words not found in UHB: צפו blind all_of,them not know all_of,they dogs mute not they_can to,bark dream lying_down love_of to,slumber )

The leaders are supposed to open their mouths and warn the people, but they do not. Comparing someone to a dog in this society is a great insult.

(Occurrence 0) They dream, and lying down they love to sleep

(Some words not found in UHB: צפו blind all_of,them not know all_of,they dogs mute not they_can to,bark dream lying_down love_of to,slumber )

This means the leaders are not bringing God’s word of warning to Israel but prefer their own comfort.
