PSA 73:8 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.

Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וִ⁠ידַבְּר֣וּ בְ⁠רָ֣ע עֹ֑שֶׁק

and,speak in/on/at/with,malice oppression

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the ideas of evil and oppression, you could express these same ideas with an adverb or a verb or in some other way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “and wickedly speak about oppressing people”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִ⁠מָּר֥וֹם יְדַבֵּֽרוּ

from,on_high threaten

The phrase they speak from an elevated place means “they speak arrogantly.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “they speak arrogantly”
