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.

(Occurrence 0) Let him offer his cheek to the one who strikes him
(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_gave to,smiter,him cheek filled in/on/at/with,disgrace )
The word “him” refers to anyone who is suffering and who waits for Yahweh. Here “offer his cheek” represents allowing someone to strike his cheek. Alternate translation: “Let him allow people to hit him on the face”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
(Occurrence 0) let him be filled to the full with reproach
(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_gave to,smiter,him cheek filled in/on/at/with,disgrace )
The author speaks of a person as if he were a container and reproach were a liquid. Being filled with reproach represents being reproached much. The implication is that he should be patient when this happens. Alternate translation: “let him be insulted much” or “let him be patient when people reproach him”
