LAM 3:21 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.

Text critical issues=none Clarity of original=clear Importance to us=normal (All still tentative.)

this(f) (Some words not found in UHB: this(f) call to/towards heart_of,my on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so have_hope )

Here, This refers forward to what the writer is about to say, not back to what he has just described. Alternate translation: [This is what I recall]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אָשִׁ֥יב אֶל־לִבִּ֖⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: this(f) call to/towards heart_of,my on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so have_hope )

Here the heart represents where the writer’s thoughts and emotions exist. He is speaking of recalling something as if he were physically bringing it back to his heart. You may have a comparable expression in your language, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I recall in my mind]

The word translated as therefore indicates that what follows is a result of what the writer has just brought back to mind. Use a word or phrase that makes this relationship clear. Alternate translation: [and so I will hope]
