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.

MSG (4-8)“As for you, Tyre and Sidon and Philistia,
why should I bother with you?
Are you trying to get back at me
for something I did to you?
If you are, forget it.
I’ll see to it that it boomerangs on you.
You robbed me, cleaned me out of silver and gold,
carted off everything valuable to furnish your own temples.
You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem
into slavery to the Greeks in faraway places.
But I’m going to reverse your crime.
I’m going to free those slaves.
I’ll have done to you what you did to them:
I’ll sell your children as slaves to your neighbors,
And they’ll sell them to the far-off Sabeans.”
God’s Verdict.

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
וּמָכַרְתִּ֞י
(ūmākartiy)

Note 2 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
בְּיַד֙ בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה
(bəyad bənēy yəhūdāh)
Since Yahweh is referring to a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of hand. Alternate translation: “into the hands of the sons of Judah”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וּמָכַרְתִּ֞י אֶת בְּנֵיכֶ֣ם וְאֶת בְּנֽוֹתֵיכֶ֗ם בְּיַד֙ בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה
(ūmākartiy ʼet bənēykem vəʼet bənōtēykem bəyad bənēy yəhūdāh)
Yahweh is using one part of a person, the hand, to represent the whole person in the act of taking possession of something. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express this meaning with more general terms. Alternate translation: “For I will sell your sons and your daughters to the sons of Judah”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה
(bənēy yəhūdāh)
