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.

ready to fight, straining at the bit.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יָחִ֣ילוּ
in_anguish
Joel assumes that his listeners will know that by writhe he means to writhe in agony or fear. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “twist and contort in agony” or “squirm in fear”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
קִבְּצ֥וּ פָארֽוּר
grow pale
Joel is using the term beauty to mean paleness by association with the way pale skin was considered beautiful in that culture. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “become pale”
