ISA 59:6 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 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

(Occurrence 0) Their webs cannot be used for garments, nor can they cover themselves with their works

(Some words not found in UHB: webs,their not become as,clothing and=not cover in/on/at/with,works,their works,their works iniquity and,deeds violence/cruelty in/on/at/with,hands,their )

This means their sinful deeds cannot be covered and hidden, just as a web cannot serve as clothing and cover someone. Alternate translation: “Their evil deeds will be exposed as useless”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) Their webs cannot be used for garments

(Some words not found in UHB: webs,their not become as,clothing and=not cover in/on/at/with,works,their works,their works iniquity and,deeds violence/cruelty in/on/at/with,hands,their )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “They cannot clothe themselves with their webs”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) deeds of violence are in their hands

(Some words not found in UHB: webs,their not become as,clothing and=not cover in/on/at/with,works,their works,their works iniquity and,deeds violence/cruelty in/on/at/with,hands,their )

“Hands” represents the ability and power to do these things and therefore their responsibility. Alternate translation: “they are fully responsible for the violence they do”
