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

מַשִּׂיגֵ֣⁠הוּ חֶ֭רֶב בְּלִ֣י תָק֑וּם

(Some words not found in UHB: DOM all/each/any/every lofty he/it_will_see he/it king on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every sons_of proud )

Yahweh is using the term stand in a specific sense to mean “succeed.” Alternate translation: “Someone may strike it with a sword, but that will have no effect”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

(Some words not found in UHB: DOM all/each/any/every lofty he/it_will_see he/it king on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every sons_of proud )

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “neither does the spear, the dart, the javelin”
