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.

Yahweh and Jeremiah continue talking about the people of Judah.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
(Occurrence 0) If only my head could produce water, and my eyes be a fountain of tears
(Some words not found in UHB: who? he_would_give,I in/on/at/with,desert lodging_place_of traveler's and,leave DOM people_of,my and,go_away from,with,them that/for/because/then/when all_of,they adulterers band_of treacherous )
This is Jeremiah speaking. These two phrases mean the same thing and emphasize how much Jeremiah is weeping. Alternate translation: “I wish I could make more tears” (See also: figs-metaphor)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / merism
(Occurrence 0) day and night
(Some words not found in UHB: who? he_would_give,I in/on/at/with,desert lodging_place_of traveler's and,leave DOM people_of,my and,go_away from,with,them that/for/because/then/when all_of,they adulterers band_of treacherous )
By mentioning both “day” and “night” this phrase means all the time. Alternate translation: “all the time” or “continually”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) the daughter of my people
(Some words not found in UHB: who? he_would_give,I in/on/at/with,desert lodging_place_of traveler's and,leave DOM people_of,my and,go_away from,with,them that/for/because/then/when all_of,they adulterers band_of treacherous )
Yahweh shows his love for his people by speaking of them as a daughter. Here Jeremiah uses this same phrase for the people that Yahweh uses. See how you translated this in [Jeremiah 4:11](../04/11.md). Alternate translation: “my people, who are like Yahweh’s daughter” or “my dear people”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
(Occurrence 0) who have been killed
(Some words not found in UHB: who? he_would_give,I in/on/at/with,desert lodging_place_of traveler's and,leave DOM people_of,my and,go_away from,with,them that/for/because/then/when all_of,they adulterers band_of treacherous )
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: “whom the enemy has killed”
