JER 20:9 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 / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) I will not speak any longer in his name

(Some words not found in UHB: and,say not mention,him and=not speak again/more in/on/at/with,name_of,his and=it_was in/on/at/with,heart_of,my like,fire burning shut_up in/on/at/with,bones_of,my and,weary holding_~_in and=not prevail )

This could mean: (1) “I will never mention Yahweh or say anything about him” or (2) the word “name” represents authority. Alternate translation: “I will no longer speak as his messenger”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

(Occurrence 0) it is like a fire in my heart, held within my bones

Here the words “heart” and “bones” represent Jeremiah’s innermost being. Alternate translation: “Yahweh’s word is like a fire that burns deep within me”
