PSA 11:2 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.

bend, bow fitted arrow_of,their on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in string

A bow is a weapon made of a curved piece of wood with a string stretched between the ends. When someone is preparing to use a bow they will hook the string to both ends, bending the bow and causing the string to be very tight. An arrow is a thin shaft with a sharp point that is shot from a bow. The opposite end from the sharp point has a notch that a person places on the bowstring and pulls back. When he releases it the arrow will fly toward the target. If your readers would not be familiar with these items, you could use the names of similar weapons from your culture or describe them. Alternate translation: “The wicked prepare their weapons. They get ready”
