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 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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הַהֵיטֵ֖ב חָ֥רָה לָֽךְ
the,right it_glowed/burned to/for=you(fs)
The phrase it burns to you is an idiom that speaks of Jonah’s anger as if it were a fire burning inside him. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated it in 4:1. Alternate translation: “is it right for you to be angry about this”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
הַהֵיטֵ֖ב חָ֥רָה לָֽךְ
the,right it_glowed/burned to/for=you(fs)
The reason for Jonah’s anger can be made explicit. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Is it right for you to be angry that I did not destroy Nineveh”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הַהֵיטֵ֖ב חָ֥רָה לָֽךְ
the,right it_glowed/burned to/for=you(fs)
Yahweh is using the question form to teach Jonah that he is not right to be angry. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “It is not right that it burns to you!”
