ISA 9:18 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 / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) Wickedness burns like a fire; it devours the briers and thorns; it even burns the thickets of the forest

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,wrath_of YHWH armies/messengers scorched land and=he/it_was the,people like,fuel_of fire (a)_man to/towards his/its=woman not spares )

The people’s evil deeds are spoken of as if they were a very destructive fire. This fire burns even the briers and thorns, plants that grow in places where people no longer live, and “the thickets of the forest” where no one has ever lived, because it has already destroyed the places where people were living.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

(Occurrence 0) briers … thorns

(Some words not found in UHB: in/on/at/with,wrath_of YHWH armies/messengers scorched land and=he/it_was the,people like,fuel_of fire (a)_man to/towards his/its=woman not spares )

The words “briers” and “thorns” both refer to useless, thorny plants; they can be translated using one word. See how you translated these words in [Isaiah 7:23](../07/23.md). Alternate translation: “thorn bushes”
