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.

lion’s mouth & horns of the wild oxen

(Some words not found in UHB: deliver, from,sword life_of,my from,power_of dogs precious_life_of,my )

The writer speaks about his enemies as if they were lions and wild oxen to emphasize how dangerous his enemies are. Also, the mouth and horns stand for the animals as a whole in a synecdoche. The writer emphasizes these parts of the animals because they are what the animals would use to kill someone. (See also: figs-synecdoche)

wild oxen

(Some words not found in UHB: deliver, from,sword life_of,my from,power_of dogs precious_life_of,my )

The word “wild” here means that no one has captured and tamed the animal.
