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.

9.3 Exierunt locustæ. Discipuli bæreticorum locustis comparantur, quia neque volant in altum; sive, contemplationem per cognitionem, nec firmiter gradiuntur per bonam operationem: sed superbia saliunt, et in pejus recidunt, et sunt corrosores bonorum. Sicut habent scorpiones. Scorpius blandus facie cauda pungit occulte; vel scorpioni comparat, quia sicut scorpius cauda, sic hæretici decipiunt per temporalia, quæ debent post esse, sicut cauda posterior pars in animali. Vel ideo comparat quia quando scorpius pungit, non sentitur, postea diffundit venenum, sic decepti ab hæreticis non sentiunt, tandem perimuntur.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
9:1-21 The fifth and sixth trumpets demonstrate how God’s judgment affects the people of the world and detail how futile it is to resist God. While these judgments should lead to repentance, they do not. Sin has such control over people that they choose to worship the evil forces that torture and murder them rather than repent and turn to God.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐδόθη αὐταῖς ἐξουσία
/was/_given ˱to˲_them power
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [God gave them power]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ἐδόθη αὐταῖς ἐξουσία, ὡς ἔχουσιν ἐξουσίαν οἱ σκορπίοι τῆς γῆς
/was/_given ˱to˲_them power like /are/_having power the scorpions ˱of˲_the earth
The point of this comparison is that just as scorpions of the earth have the power to hurt people by stinging them, so these locusts from the abyss had the power to hurt people in that same way. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [to hurt people by stinging them, just as scorpions on earth do]
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
σκορπίοι
scorpions
A scorpion is an insect with a poisonous stinger at the end of its long tail. The sting can cause severe pain or even death. If your readers would not be familiar with what a scorpion is, in your translation you could use the name of a comparable insect or animal in your area. Alternate translation: [deadly stinging insects]
