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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

נֶ֣פֶשׁ

creature

Here, soul refers to the whole person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly, as in the UST.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

רָ֭שָׁע & בְּ⁠עֵינָ֣י⁠ו רֵעֵֽ⁠הוּ

wicked & in/on/at/with,eyes,his his/its=neighbour

Here, the wicked one, his, and neighbor refer to types of people in general, not specific people. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use more natural expressions. See how you translated the wicked one in 3:33. Alternate translation: “any wicked person … that person’s neighbor … in that person’s eyes”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

רָ֑ע

evil

See how you translated the abstract noun evil in 1:16.

not find_~_mercy in/on/at/with,eyes,his his/its=neighbour

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “his eyes do not show grace to his neighbor”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

בְּ⁠עֵינָ֣י⁠ו
