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 as a tool 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.

3:20-21 The conclusion of Joel’s prophecy is the antithesis of its beginning. In 1:1-20, Judah’s future seemed in grave doubt. Plague and drought, the signs of divine judgment, threatened Judah’s existence. Now Joel ends with the divine assurance that Judah . . . and Jerusalem will endure through all generations. God’s people in every generation rest secure in the hope that his kingdom will reign over heaven and earth (see also Isa 9:6-7; Dan 2:44; 7:13-14).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וִיהוּדָ֖ה
(viyhūdāh)
Yahweh is using the term Judah by association to mean the people living in Judah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the people of Judah]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם לְד֥וֹר וָדֽוֹר
(viyrūshālaim lədōr vādōr)
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: [and Jerusalem will dwell to generation and generation]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לְד֥וֹר וָדֽוֹר
(lədōr vādōr)
Like the expression in [2:2](../02/02.md), this means “for a very long time.” Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [for all generations to come]
