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 / rquestion

אָמַ֥ר בְּ֝⁠לִבּ֗⁠וֹ לֹ֣א תִּדְרֹֽשׁ

he/it_had_said in/on/at/with,heart_of,his not call_~_toaccount

Here, saying in his heart means that he thinks or believes something without necessarily speaking it out loud. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He thinks to himself” or “He believes deep down”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לֹ֣א תִּדְרֹֽשׁ

not call_~_toaccount

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words if it would be clearer in your language. It is more clear here than in [verse 3](../10/03.md) who is seeking what. The wicked thinks that God does not seek them out, or notice them, to punish them. Alternate translation: “You will not punish me”
