JER 5:13 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) The prophets will become wind

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,prophets are to/for=wind/breath/spirit and,the,word not (is)_in=them thus done to/for=them )

Here “prophets” is a metonym that represents what the prophets say, and “wind” is a metaphor for something that does not do anything. Alternate translation: “The prophets words are just noisy wind” or “The prophets make noise like the wind, but what they prophesy will not happen” (See also: figs-metaphor)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) the word is not in them

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,prophets are to/for=wind/breath/spirit and,the,word not (is)_in=them thus done to/for=them )

Here “the word” refers to God’s message. Alternate translation: “God’s message is not in them” or “the messages that they speak are not from God”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) so let what they say be done to them

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,prophets are to/for=wind/breath/spirit and,the,word not (is)_in=them thus done to/for=them )

It can be stated clearly what kinds of things the prophets were talking about. Alternate translation: “so let the harm that the prophets talk about come to them” or “since the prophets say that bad things will happen to us, let those bad things happen to the prophets”
