ISA 8:14 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—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הָיָ֖ה לְ⁠מִקְדָּ֑שׁ

and=it_was (into)_a,sanctuary

Here Yahweh is speaking as if he were a sanctuary that protects those who trust in him. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And he will protect those who trust in him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠לְ⁠אֶ֣בֶן נֶ֠גֶף וּ⁠לְ⁠צ֨וּר מִכְשׁ֜וֹל

If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express these ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [but a stone that people trip over and a rock that people stumble on]
