LAM 4:10 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. 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.

(Some words not found in UHB: hands_of women/wives compassionate cooked children_of,their_own they_were to,food their,their in/on/at/with,destruction_of daughter_of people_of,my )

Here the women are represented by their “hands.” Because they were so hungry, women who had been compassionate in the past were no longer compassionate toward their children; instead they boiled them for food. Alternate translation: “Compassionate women” or “Women who had been compassionate in the past”

(Occurrence 0) they became their food

(Some words not found in UHB: hands_of women/wives compassionate cooked children_of,their_own they_were to,food their,their in/on/at/with,destruction_of daughter_of people_of,my )

Alternate translation: “their children became the women’s food”

(Some words not found in UHB: hands_of women/wives compassionate cooked children_of,their_own they_were to,food their,their in/on/at/with,destruction_of daughter_of people_of,my )

This is a poetic name for Jerusalem, which is spoken of here as if it were a woman. See how you translated this in [Lamentations 2:11](../02/11.md). Alternate translation: “my people were” (See also: figs-personification)
