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.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) For this our heart has become sick

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in this it_became faint heart,our on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in these grow_dim eyes,our )

The “heart” represents a person’s emotions. This speaks of a person being discouraged as if their emotions were sick. Alternate translation: “Because of this we are discouraged” (See also: figs-metaphor)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) for these things our eyes grow dim

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in this it_became faint heart,our on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in these grow_dim eyes,our )

This means that they have a hard time seeing because they are crying. Alternate translation: “and we can hardly see because our eyes are full of tears”
