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.

וַיהוָ֞ה מִצִּיּ֣וֹן יִשְׁאָ֗ג
(vayhvāh miʦʦiyyōn yishʼāg)

וְרָעֲשׁ֖וּ שָׁמַ֣יִם וָאָ֑רֶץ

Or (2) a symbolic description of how powers on earth and in heaven will give way before the power of Yahweh. Alternate translation: “Yes, powers on earth and in heaven will give way before the power of Yahweh”
