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.

לא־אַחֲרִ֥ישׁ בַּדָּ֑י⁠ו וּ⁠דְבַר־גְּ֝בוּר֗וֹת וְ⁠חִ֣ין עֶרְכּֽ⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: from,nostrils,his comes smoke as,pot boiling and,rushes )

Yahweh is expressing a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of his intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I will certainly speak about its limbs and the matter of its strengths and the beauty of its form”

Note 2 topic: translate-plural

גְּ֝בוּר֗וֹת

(Some words not found in UHB: from,nostrils,his comes smoke as,pot boiling and,rushes )

Yahweh is using the plural form strengths in a context where the singular term “strength” would suffice. This suggests that he is using the plural form for emphasis. Your language may use plural forms in the same way. If not, you could express the meaning in another way. Alternate translation: “its great strength”
