LAM 3:18 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

and,I_said gone endurance_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: and,I_said gone endurance_of,my and,hope_of,my from,Yahweh )

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could translate this so that there is not a direct quotation but an indirect one. Alternate translation: [And I said that my endurance has perished, as has my hope from Yahweh]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אָבַ֣ד נִצְחִ֔⁠י וְ⁠תוֹחַלְתִּ֖⁠י מֵ⁠יְהוָֽה

gone endurance_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: and,I_said gone endurance_of,my and,hope_of,my from,Yahweh )

Here the writer is speaking of his endurance and hope as if they were living things that could perish. Your language may have comparable expressions that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [My ability to endure is gone and my expectation that Yahweh would help me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

נִצְחִ֔⁠י וְ⁠תוֹחַלְתִּ֖⁠י

endurance_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: and,I_said gone endurance_of,my and,hope_of,my from,Yahweh )

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of endurance and hope, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [My ability to endure … and my reason to hope]
