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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

his strength is in the skies

(Some words not found in UHB: to_the,rides in/on/at/with,heavens_of heavens_of ancient if he/it_gave in/on/at/with,voice_of,his sound/voice mighty )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word strength, you could express the same idea with a verbal form such as “powerful.” Alternate translation: “in the skies he also shows that he is powerful”
