PRO 23:18 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 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 / explicit

כִּ֭י אִם־יֵ֣שׁ אַחֲרִ֑ית

that/for/because/then/when if there_is future

Here the writer implies that the contents of the verse are true if the person has “the fear of Yahweh” mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “If you have the fear of Yahweh, then surely there is a future”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יֵ֣שׁ אַחֲרִ֑ית

there_is future

Here, the writer implies that the future is good and is for the person addressed as your in the next clause. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “there is a good future for you”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ֝⁠תִקְוָתְ⁠ךָ֗ לֹ֣א תִכָּרֵֽת

and,hope,your not cut_off

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. The context implies that Yahweh will do the action. Alternate translation: “and Yahweh will not cut off your hope”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ֝⁠תִקְוָתְ⁠ךָ֗

and,hope,your

See how you translated the abstract noun hope in 10:28.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לֹ֣א תִכָּרֵֽת

not cut_off

Here, the writer speaks of hope as if it were an object that could be cut off. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “will not remain unfulfilled” or “will not fail to become reality”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

לֹ֣א תִכָּרֵֽת

not cut_off

The writer is using a figure of speech here that expresses a strongly positive meaning by using a negative word, not, together with an expression that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the positive meaning. Alternate translation: “will surely become reality”
