ISA 59:1 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) Look

(Some words not found in UHB: if not short hand_of YHWH too_~_to,save and=not dull ear_of,his too_~_to,hear )

“Behold!” or “You should know!” Yahweh tells the people to pay attention.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) Yahweh’s hand is not so short

(Some words not found in UHB: if not short hand_of YHWH too_~_to,save and=not dull ear_of,his too_~_to,hear )

“Hand” represents power and ability. A “short” hand does not have power and ability. Alternate translation: “Yahweh is fully able” (See also: figs-metaphor)
