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.

18:1-24 This chapter contains seven poetic responses to the fall of Babylon (or Rome; see study note on 17:5).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὸν καπνὸν τῆς πυρώσεως αὐτῆς
the smoke ˱of˲_the burning ˱of˲_her
See how you translated the same expression in [18:9](../18/09.md). Alternate translation: [the smoke from the fire that is burning her]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τίς ὁμοία τῇ πόλει τῇ μεγάλῃ?
what_‹is› similar ˱to˲_the city ¬the great
The sea workers are using the question form for emphasis. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Nothing is like the great city!]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τίς
what_‹is›
By What, the sea workers implicitly mean “What city.” You can say this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [What city] or, in an exclamation, [No other city]
